Good day.
I am new here. Please be gentle.
Calibre 7.7.0 on Windows 11 Insider Preview.
This issue also occurred in earlier versions of Calibre.
Last fall the content server was working pretty well. Not terribly reliable but when it worked it worked well. I could connect from the localhost via a browser, from the LAN and from outside.
However, since early December the content server has not worked. Localhost, LAN, WAN, nothing happens. Port number unchanged. I tried HTTP and HTTPS.
I often get the error message:
------ begin error

At this poiint I have always rebooted the computer as I am guessing this error is a Windows problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
