After updating to Calibre 7.12.0
Hi
Ive been using Calibre for almost a year and i havent had that much problems with it until yesterday when I downloaded and updatet to 7.12.0. After installing my calibre app wont open at all regardless from where i try and open it. I couldnt go back and install a earlier version because i then get a message saying that i already have a newer version installed and to intall the previous version I have to delete and reinstall and i dont want to lose all the books i currently have in calibre. Anyone have any help to offer? I dont know what it is thats wrong. TIA |

Check the task manager and see if it is running (off screen). Sometimes the last used screen position gets corrupted and it is just off to the side on a phantom display.

I’ve done that and it doesn’t show there so there’s nothing I can do through task management I think |

Then Uninstall . That does not remove an existing Library
Then you can install any version |

Then run calibre 7.12 and see if it shows up on screen. The settings directory is %appdata%\calibre on Windows. This might solve the problem. |

Someone told me to reset the computer from an earlier time before I ran the update and that “fixed” the issue. But I’m a bit scared to update it again.

Jon's advice (last 2 posts) is fine.
The GUI.JSON is where Calibre keep lots of the GUI settings . It will be recreated if missing (thus fixing corruption), but it will also lose some other GUI customization. NOT the LIBRARY settings. A quick fix rather than Uninstall, reinstall if it works. |
