How can calibre-parallel be terminated?
I start Calibre with a script (Windows Powershell) and after exiting Calibre, I check whether there is an update of Calibre is available. I use “WaitForExit” for this, but this does not work works because calibre-parallel is still active. How can I close calibre-parallel with “Windows Powershell”?

My problem is that Calibre requires a reboot after an update and it is not possible to continue working with Calibre without rebooting. However, since a backup may be running on the computer at the same time, which sometimes takes 8 hours, I always delay updates of Calibre for longer and longer.

I have never needed to reboot Windows after a calibre install or update… and I've done it hundreds of times; nor have I needed reboot after the couple of dozen MacOS or Linux installs I've done for other people. And I suspect that's true of the vast majority of the 2.7 million active calibre users. On Windows, the only software (apart from itself) that might require a reboot after an update are shell extensions such as File Menu Tools, Link Shell Extension etc… but they don't leave you stranded, you run the old version until you do the reboot.

On several occasions when I have installed calibre with calibre open, the installer required a reboot to replace files in use. My work flow is to finish what I am doing with calibre and then download the installer/source, do the install, copy the source files into place and then start calibre.

Do not have any part of the Calibre family running when launching the installer. .Net is another thing that gets used by multiple apps, that can caus a Needed reboot. Best to not have any aps running when doing updates for the best chances. BTW a pending (reboot required) Windows update can cause odd things. Get that out of the way BEFORE... |
