Settings appear... then disappear
So I open Calibre, everything appears to be normal, mycustomised main toolbar appears, and then a few seconds later it disappears and another toolbar configuration replaces it.
Any ideas how I can get my old settings back? |

I managed to get screenshots of what happens.
Calibre opens like this: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/at...1&d=1711910137 and then two seconds later this toolbar appears: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/at...1&d=1711910137 I'm using Calibre Portable 7.7 |

By any chance do you have an eReader attached? There are two sets of menus in the preferences; one with no device attached and a second when there is a device attached.

It looks as if you are starting calibre with a device attached since your second screen shot has a Send to device icon.
If you going into Preferences => Toolbars and menus and select The main toolbar on the dropdown, you should see the options in your first image. If you then select The main toolbar when a device is connected, you should see the options in your second screenshot. |

Nice call!
I didn't have an e-reader attached, but my old dumbphone was charging on a USB port. When I disconnectd, Calibre started ok. So I guess Calibre thought that was an e-reader. Thanks |

I can see in Preferences where I might do that, but there are no devices listed. Not even when I restart Calibre with the phone connected (and the toolbar changes). |

Connect the device: Right click the device icon when it appears (may have to finish the new book scan):CONFIGURE: click Ignore this device (has Red X)
