On my Dell desktop XPS 8300, with Windows 10 Home, version 1607, OS Build 14393.576. Processor-i5-2320 [email protected], Ram-8GB, System Type-64-Bit.
I had Kodi 17.1 working fine for weeks until it started to slow down. FRESH START would not work so I uninstalled Kodi 17,1 with CCleaner. I tried to reinstall Kodi 17.1 from the Windows store-the little block said it was working, I left it working for 8 hours over night. It would not start, so I tried to download it with google chrome from KODI download page. I saved the file kodi-17.1-Krypton.exe 81,889KB to my download folder. I double clicked on the EXE file it installs but will not run- not even a flash of the Krypton page on the screen. It is sad, I had it working and now it won't. I have it working on my Amazon Fire Stick with no problems. Thanks for any help.

I hope you didn't use a program called "FRESH START" and just meant a fresh start as per my signature. To keep it simple use the Kodi installer from the forum link. Your message didn't leave too many clues, so a proper debug log is requested, posted to a publicv paste-bin and that URL linked back to this thread. Log file/Advanced (wiki) pay specific attention to section 1.2 Turn on debugging using a file (advancedsettings.xml)

You can manually enable debug logging directly using an advancedsettings.xml file. This is especially useful if Kodi is crashing during start-up and you are unable to turn debugging on via the GUI. The advancedsettings.xml file is simply a plain text document that is saved in the userdata folder and read when Kodi first starts up. You can use the following examples to enable debug logging:

Code:

<advancedsettings>
    <loglevel>2</loglevel> <!-- Change this to "1" to hide the on-screen debug log text -->
</advancedsettings>

Note: Be sure to format this as a plain text document, and make sure it is titled advancedsettings.xml and make sure the extension is just .xml and not something like ".xml.txt" or ".xml.doc".
