Adobe Digital Editions 4.5 stopped working on Windows 10

Adobe Digital Editions 4.5.8 suddenly stopped working when I tried to load a second library ebook (it loaded the first). It just sits at the splash screen and says "loading library...." but will NOT open. I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling ADE; uninstalling it and installing an older version I still had from two years ago; and even taking Windows back about 10-20 days using a restore point. NOTHING worked!

Please, please help! I am an avid reader and this is how I get my library books. It's very frustrating!

I have searched Google so many times to try to find an answer that works and I can't.

I use Windows 10.

Thank you.

    Closed ADE.
    Rename the My Digital Edition folder in your Documents Folder. (f. e. OLD)

    Then start again.

      How can I close ADE?  I have no ability to use it and I cannot close it, therefore I cannot remove it from my program list.

      If you use Windows, click on Control ALT Delete at the same time. That will bring up the option for Task Manager. Click on Task Manager, then choose ADE and you can shut it down by right clicking and choosing "end task."
