I'm doing skin dev and just started to notice that Kodi is crashing ALOT when I change skins. Once it changes and loads home screen, whole app freezes and crashes. I posted the Log below

Lets try and keep full log files to public pastebins and forgo snippets, not much to be seen here. From your description, sounds like it's coughing on some dependency and it's not clear what skin you are moving into (perhaps it's your own?), temp kill the weather add-ons you don't need to be calling out.
I am developing my own skin yes. I tried to disable every single addon I could but it keeps freezing when it goes back to the home screen or even doing a reload causes it to freeze & crash

I am thankful for that, a new view is always welcome. Really not sure what's going on, a full debug is always desired but in your case it's easily dismissed as a development issue; the guys in the provided link may have a better view of this. My advice would be to delete the guisettings.xml file to ensure a simple setting conflict is out of the picture. If you can get the 'new' skin in play (crash or not) perhaps a debug might show something? Are you taking an existing skin and modding it, or from scratch via the wiki's?, delving into skins at this depth is not really a windows support issue and there's just too many variables to contemplate a succinct response.   (I hate to throw you off, but not many skinners engage is this section).

Just a quick note: I switch Matrix skins on a regular basis without issue.
Ok so I backed up my skin & renamed Kodi folder in AppData to Kodi.OLD so even on a blank slate, its doing these endless freezes every few minutes that hangs the app for a couple seconds (15-30 seconds). so im ruling out my development skin.

--full logs below--

Its just 2 lines of code so please dont shoot me Wink it literally freezes within this gap. Its using the default skin so idk what could be causing it. This is only happening on my Ryzen desktop PC. On my i7 T580 Thinkpad, no issues whatsoever
Ok I enabled debugging. idk if its just me but it seems to only be triggered when I'm allowing installs of ZIP addons.
In between these 2 time gaps is the freeze

UPDATE, figured out how to paste logs

Nothing useful can be done with just those few lines from kodi.log.  Need the whole file to understand what is going on.

Did it again, full logs below.
This time I did nothing (clean slate with Kodi folder deleted on AppData) but just go to the Install Addons from ZIP. After I clicked "YES" on the prompt, the whole app froze for a few seconds. Could it be some protective mechanism not optimized for Ryzen CPUs?

That looks like a normal user shut down. Did it crash or freeze? Or did you upload the wrong log? "Did it again" doesn't actually tell us what it did.

See that time gap there?? Is it because its doing something in/out of memory?
Another one at 21:36:33
its a 16 core Ryzen 5950X 32GB of RAM.
my 3 year old intel thinkpad does not have these issues at all...
