Fresh install won't open
Hi gang. I can't get Calibre to open on a fresh install. I've tried both the 32 and 64-bit versions, freshly rebooting after each uninstall. Has there been a recent issue with updates or configs?

Is the icon on the taskbar (where programs that are running show up)?
Because I do not see a crash in your log. Anything exotic (higher end) from the general use PC found in stores? |

Thanks. Nothing showing in the SysTray nor in the Task Manager
It is a Surface Book 3. Nothing special loaded on the machine. |

From previous threads, if your startup stalls at the "Turning on automatic hidpi scaling", it generally indicates a video driver issue.
Possibly an update to 20H2 from 20H1 might update your video driver. |

WinVer shows 20H2. See attached.
I also have new info...my SB3 is connected to a Dell D6000 dock. If I disconnect the dock, it starts without issue. While connected to the dock, it crashes at Turning on automatic hidpi scaling. |

@theducks Thank you for the advice to change the look and feel setting. Unfortunately, that has not helped.

I found it. The SB3 has two GPUs (integrated Intel and an integrated nVidia). In previous troubleshooting for something else, I had told my SB3 to force the use of the nVidia GPU instead of letting the system decide which to use. Switching it back to auto allows it to launch.
