Having trouble opening up calibre despite debug saying there's no issues

Hello all, as you can see from the title, I can't open up calibre (more specifically, the graphical UI won't open. Also am using windows 10). When I try starting it, the window itself is invisible to me and using alt+tab doesn't bring up the window at all. From the debug console (window key+r > calibre-debug -g), it says the program was started up, but it simply isn't showing up visually.

I suspect it may have something to do with my graphics drivers, but I'm not sure. Can anyone help, please? Thank you!

Can you try right-clicking on an empty spot on the task bar, and select "Cascade Windows".

Does that bring back the GUI?

It does not unfortunately. From my alt+tab, it just appears as a white box and cascading the windows applies it to all the other tabs I have open except for calibre. I have an image attached below of what I see when I press alt+tab. Cascading doesn't show the UI, of course.

Can you try starting in Debug Mode and then pasting the error message here in a post.

On the Preferences icon, right click and select Restart in Debug Mode.

I'm not too sure what you mean when you say to restart in debug mode. I can, however, give you what I see from running the debug command for calibre, if that helps.
