Well, I have a Win11 VM where the calibre annotations like

calibre://view-book/_hex_-43616c696272655f4c696272617279/1/EPUB?open_at=epubcfi%28/60/2/4/2/4/22/2/1%3A9%29

in a Word document, for example, were opening fine the Ebook Viewer on the Calibre version I had installed (6.14). (one has to insert the link manually in Word, by selecting text and inserting hyperlink)

Then I installed Calibre 7.7 on this VM, just to try to reproduce your issue, and noticed 2 things: 1) the Calibre desktop icon vanished and 2) when control-clicking the same annotation on Word, I had MS EDGE browser open on a blank page... lol.

So I closed Calibre, right-cliked the Calibre 7.7 installer and selected 'Repair' to do a repair install, and all is fine again: the desktop icon did show, and the annotation link works fine again.
