Angry Calibre reinstalling after everytime I close App!

Hi I recentlyupdated calibre to version 7.4 and ever since having an issue every time I shut down calibre and restart it goes back to installation as if setting up and the tool bar and prefrences are reset to original setting? why?

One possibility is the Configuration folder is blocked / missing / being damaged (Sync? )
Calibre expects all its pieces (including user settings) to be on a local disc.

Sounds like a shortcut issue to me, i.e. the desktop/taskbar/start menu/whatever shortcut you are using is referencing the installer rather than the installed program.

Right click it and select Properties (at the bottom), it should look something like this:

Do you use a 3rd party launcher?

Try launching calibre directly by double clicking calibre.exe in the install location, i.e.
