Yesterday I had a problem with Win 10 (build 11102) and restored my previous Win 10 installation.
My Calibre is setup with a number of separate databases for various types/genres of books - ie: animals, dr who, publishing, horror, short stories, star trek, etc. (Yes, I know that's what tags, and sorting is for, but for me, this is a lot easier.) I have been doing it this way for a number of years - ever since my first install of Calibre.
After the Win 10 restore, I started getting rather "random" Calibre database corruption messages. Sometimes 1 database (for example - animals) would be corrupt, sometimes it would be another (animals would be OK, but Dr Who would be corrupt) Weird.
I looked up all the possible ways of restoring databases, but nothing seemed to match what was happening.
I then set the compatibility of the program to Win 7, start as admin.
Everything now works perfectly. So, if you are having trouble with Win 10, before panicking and trying numerous database fixes, try setting the compatibility mode.... it may save a lot of time and frustration!
