Calibre (not responding)

ilovereading.com · 12-19-2021, 02:14 PM

please.

Since yesterday, I can't use my Calibre. I updated to the latest version, 5.34 on Friday.

I had plugged my Kobo in and had UL a few annotations from recent reads, and was in the middle of trying to copy/paste previously saved annotations into a review I was writing on Goodreads and it just stopped responding. I just turned it off as I was impatient and had other things to do.

Today I have opened Calibre and it will not allow me to do anything. Every time I try to click on something, it just shows the blue processing circle for some time then if I leave it, it stops and looks 'normal' again but if I try to click on something again, the same thing happens. If I shut it down via task manager and reopen it, the same thing happens. I have also rebooted my laptop (Windows 10 64bit) a few times and still the same. And I have gotten no error messages at any time since this happened.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

You likely have some software on your computer intefering with calibre. Try rebooting in safe mode and see if it works to confirm.
