There are also releases for the third and fourth weeks of a month (Microsoft's C and D releases) which are often the updates that cause system administrator's consumption of antacids to spike. The last one I recall was the August 25, 2022 release which was relatively benign but very often these are the ones mentioning critical/exploits in the wild/etc. in the description. |

Hi,
i do believe that finding the likely responsible symptom, the bum process preventing Calibre from starting, helped me more than a reboot without being secure to solve the problem. @Koval: Anyway, could Calibre in future, in such a situation, say something like "Another instance of Calibre seems to be running; shutting down."? -- regards, -- recook |

It does sometimes produce a message like that. Starting it again with too many clicks when it's really already started but not appeared. At least some versions. |

My old computer took 10-15 minutes to reboot. Ctrl+Alt+Del to open the task manager, sort the process list by name, and nuke anything starting with 'calibre" takes me less than a minute.

But you have to know it's a process that needs to be killed. There's also trying to run Calibre after an install and when that fails, there's a repair install and try again.

If I don't see Calibre open but it's in the task manager, that's how I know I need to kill it.

If it makes you any feel better it mostly happened when I was trying to replicate a bug that resulted in Calibre crashing (except that sometimes it didn't fully crash but remain open in background). Last edited by ownedbycats; 11-13-2022 at 06:21 AM. |
