I have a new computer (Windows 11) since a few weeks, on which I reinstalled calibre.
And I immediately have had these problems :
- After the installation, I got a window telling me that I have to restart my computer. I've never seen that with calibre before.
- After restarting, I have to click multiple times on the icon before calibre starts.
- If I don't restart the computer, this is what I get when I run calibre-debug -g
Spoiler:
Code:
C:\Users\admin>calibre-debug -g
Python path configuration:
PYTHONHOME = (not set)
PYTHONPATH = (not set)
program name = 'C:\Program Files\Calibre2\calibre-debug.exe'
