Calibre has suddenly stopped opening my ebooks.

For no apparent reason -- I'd not done anything that might obviously have affected Calibre -- yesterday I found I couldn't open any ebooks on my PC, though I had been reading them earlier in the day.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling several different versions of Calibre to see if that helps, and also temporarily disabling my anti-virus, Emisoft (which I'd seen suggested in another thread). Didn't help.

The ebook reader opens, slowly, tries to load the book and then fails with the following message
Code:

calibre, version 2.55.0
ERROR: Could not open ebook: Failed to read book, C:\Users\Home\Google Drive\Calibre Library\Don Norman\The Design of Everyday Things (2135)\The Design of Everyday Things - Don Norman.epub click "Show Details" for more information

Failed to connect to worker process

The debug log says,
Code:

calibre Debug log
calibre 2.55  embedded-python: True is64bit: False
Windows-8-6.2.9200 Windows ('32bit', 'WindowsPE')

I don't know why it says Windows 8 -- I recently updated Windows 7 to Windows 10, and I've never used Windows 8 in my life!

Is it that the library is too large?

Any advice would be most welcome.
