I saw this line in the calibre change log last month and though maybe this "Smart" App Control thing could screw the X-Ray feature again like macOS's Library Validation.

I don't use Windows and can't even run Windows 11 in virtual machine so I can't test it. But maybe your laptop supports CUDA and you can enable the "run spaCy with GPU" feature, if that works it means the same trick I used to bypass macOS's Library Validation also works on Windows.

I forget to ask, is "Smart App Control" enabled on your laptop? If it's enabled and you can't install CUDA, you can disable it and see if the error could be solved.

Keep in mind that re-enabled "Smart App Control" requires reset Windows.

On a side note

I don't use Windows and can't even run Windows 11 in virtual machine

https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/virtual-machines/ worked for me on https://www.virtualbox.org/. (Even if my hardware does not meet the TPM, GPT requirements).

But then again, my guest OS is Windows 10.

Thanks, I almost forget virtualbox. I don't know what causes the PermissionError error but I'm pretty sure "Smart App Control" has nothing to do with this because it causes a different error.

Could you delete the "worddumb-libs-py3.10" directory then retry?
