Digital Editions stops responding when loading ebook on PC

Recently Digtal Editions freezes when trying to load an ebook, either a new one or one in my library.

This seems to have started after I loaded the Windows 11 Feb 2025 update.

The issue got better after I renamed the My Digital Editions folder to My Digital Editions.old - I could see the books in my library. They still don't open.

The only way to close Dig editions is to close it in Task Manager.
