At this point I suggest you do a windows clean re-install thats sometimes the easiest way to fix such issues.

I think you may want to do a clean reinstall of Windows since you are having so many errors. Easiest way is to use Recovery in the Settings app.

The history of my problems began on the Thinkpad that had been upgraded from Win7 to Win10. All programs worked for a couple of years after the upgrade to Win10. I think an automatic update of Win10 started the problem. I just did a clean install of Win10Pro on the laptop and Calibre will open generic epubs with its Viewer just fine. I'm stuck with just getting audiobooks from the library until they come up with a fix for the Adobe not working in Win10Pro and Win11Pro. Since Adobe has abandoned this program, the fix, if there ever is one, will have to come from Microsoft. |

The settings you want to copy are in C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Roaming\calibre The XXXX is the directory for your computer's profile. Copy the contents of the calibre directory to the settings directory of your portable version. That will copy off of your settings and plugins and you'll see your libraries. I've done that before when using a portable version. |

If any non-calibre app is also having these issues,,
your computer has issues that need to be solved. Calibre is just another victim. |

Since Aquila Reader works without any problems and the mobile version of Calibre works without a problem, I believe that it is a Windows problem. Unfortunately, the public library uses OverDrive which relies on an Adobe product that is no longer updated or supported and clearly doesn't work in newer Windows versions. Since I started with a clean install of Win11Pro and the problems were there from the start and also occur, even when booted in safe mode, whatever the conflict is has not been revealed. I'm still passionate about Calibre and while I remain disappointed in not being able to resolve the problem, I've passed on details of the problems I've encountered here and with OverDrive (about Adobe) and will be gratefully using Calibre's portable version! |

An ancient ADE 2.0 works on my Windows 10 computer, so as with Calibre, it's apparently not recent Windows versions that are the problem, but something specific to your computer. Otherwise ADE would not work on any Windows 10/11 machine and that's clearly not the case.

It may be Hardware.
It maybe Drivers (wrong or no update available). For over a year, I could not get the video on my Dell 780 to go above 1024 and stay. SFC /scannow did not fix that. It was only by accident, that another installation app complained that my X-video had problems. SFC did not check that. A simple download from M$ and my old Dell was working (I had purchased a Refurb as a replacement). Neither can do W11. Both run W10 Pro. The older one was W7 when I got it. The Dell 780 does not like Calibre 7.17 (viewer just spins) |

I had intended to give my old laptop, the ThinkPad to someone for light use. Really, I could do everything with it until the USB's lost their 3.0 function. But oh, it was slow. I had upgraded it from Win7 to Win10 and everything worked great unit I was unable to open epubs in the Viewer or ADE. At any rate, for now I think I'll do a clean install of Win7 on it and use it to download books from the library! If I don't update to Win10, it should work okay. For years ADE worked just great on it, as did Calibre. For now I'm thrilling to the speed of the ThinkCentre. Everything is fast. On my old Thinkpad, Firefox took forever to load but now it's ready in a matter of seconds. And portable Calibre is wonderful. Whatever the cause of the quirk that impacts ADE and Kindle will likely remain a mystery unless I try installing ADE again at some point to see it any Win11 updates or driver updates from Lenovo have fixed the problem. |

Portable working is what has me baffled.
If something was wrong with a driver, that does not get fixed by going Portable. Something in the Configuration folder of the computer is not right. Unless you copied it to Portable, it has a fresh, version. |
