calibre will not start
Hallo,
new problem for me: an a new installed windows 10, calibre won't start after installing. I tried: - latest 64 bit - latest 32 bit - portable version - windows 8 compatible version all with the same behavior; will start to the taskmanager, where "the main calibre program" will show up, but nothing else. Any ideas where to look at? Thank you Arne |

Add:
the very old version 3.4.8 will install and start as usual. Strange... But if I update that version to the newest, nothing will work- |

There is no error there so check if the calibre window is offscreen by gathering all windows back onto the screen as described here: https://www.wikihow.com/Bring-an-Off...ack-on-Windows

There is no window which is not on the screen...
I have just an entry in the taskmanager and no further window. This is the screenshot of the taskmanager: https://abload.de/img/screenshot3ppivl.png Then, as written above, nothing else happens... |

Hallo,
thank you for the suggestion! As I understood the configuration folder is the "resources" folder on PC. However, when i try to rename nothing happens. Or is there any other folder which should be renamed? Arne |

On Windows the default path to the configuration folder will be something like:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\calibre That's what you need to rename. But make sure calibre is NOT running when you do that. BR |
