Viewer (suddenly) not working with epub
Calibre no longer opens epub files.
Double-clicking file in calibre and nothing happens (no error message or anything)

pdf works fine (opens in browser so..)

---
Win 10
Nvidia 1070ti
---
Updated to latest nvidia drivers (516.94)
To be sure I've manually associated ebook-viewer.exe with .epub
Updated to latest calibre 6.2.1 (64 bit)
---

calibre-debug -w gives me the following


Failed to import PyQt module: PyQt6.QtWebEngineCore with error: DLL load failed while importing QtWebEngineCore: The specified module could not be found.

I would suggest uninstalling calibre and deleting the calibre2 directory from C:\Program Files and then re-installing calibre. This should not affect your installation since the preferences and library/libraries are stored elsewhere.

That error suggests your installation is damaged hence the suggestion.

Before going the route of deleting and then installing, I suggest trying an install again. That brings up the option for a repair install. Try that.

Windows does a poor job of graphs driver housekeeping, you need to do this just too make sure it is not a bad driver install.

How to perform a CLEAN install of your video card drivers.

Quote:
A major issue on many systems is the presence of multiple graphics card drivers or drivers that have been incompletely uninstalled followed by the installation of newer drivers that can result in rogue registry entries and other issues. Many users upgrading from older cards or integrated graphics that use older driver versions by the same OEM, meaning Nvidia or AMD based, often assume it will be a bang, bang process. Sometimes it is if they've kept up with keeping the drivers current but more often it is not.

That error indicates either a corrupted installation or a missing dll. Try excluding the calibre installation folder from your antivirus then run a repair of the installation.

Added c:\Program Files\Calibre2\ to Exclusion in Windows defender

Downloaded Calibre 6.3.0 (new version)
Did the install - Still no epub functionality

Did a repair install (just because...) - Still no epub functionality

Unchanged error message with calibre-debug -w:

Hello!

I have this issue too already since the previous version of Calibre (currently 6.3.0 on MS Windows 10 Enterprise N, 64-bit with all updates). Double clicking a publication in the list opens the publication only if it a PDF, not if an ePub.

The debug command returns the following:

File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: DLL load failed while importing QtWebEngineCore: The specified module could not be found.
What am I missing?

Some dll needed by qt webengine is missing. You can try using tools like dependency walker to look for missing dlls in the dependencies of Qt6WebEngineCore.dll which you will find in the app/bin sub folder inside the calibre isntallation folder.

I wonder if this might be related to the N version of Windows 10 Enterprise?

Quote:
The N editions don't include Windows Media Player, Skype, or certain preinstalled media apps (Music, Video, Voice Recorder).

I'm also on the N version (Windows 10 Pro N) - So might be related?

Weird though that Calibre used to work just fine. A month ago I had no problems.

A month ago, were you on calibrd 6 OR calibre 5?

If you can it would be interesting to install the "Media Feature Pack for Windows N editions". See https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/...9-a4bb980a700a and see if that changes things.
