Solved Kodi crashing on startup on Windows 10
#1
Every time I open Kodi it immediately crashes for some reason. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and cleared all Kodi-related files utilizing Revo Uninstaller and the issue hasn't been rectified. I would appreciate any assistance. The log is posted below. Thanks.

FTL: Desktop Resolution: 3840x2160 32Bit at 30Hz ouch, that must be hard to look at. For the purposes of testing can you set desktop to 1920x1080 @ 60.00Hz, ensure you don't have a disk in the optical drive, and joysticks are unplugged, and let's see what those settings will do.

I had similar would crash on start, no error message and for me it was Microsoft Visual C++ needed to be uninstalled as it had corrupted.

Damaged DLL files can be the result of installing and reinstalling programs constantly. Some files get overwritten a few times and corrupted like this. This causes problems with those particular applications when the programs need older versions of the DLL to run. but it is overwritten with the newer version. The program starts showing errors and malfunction or even crash, so you can't run wanted apps.

This was definitely the fix! I uninstalled C++ and reinstalled and my issues went away. Thank you @PatK and @fsurfer

@estgf

Shouldn't high-jack 'solved' threads, most users don't look at them unless it's exactly their issue and solve. Start your own thread and post a proper debug log pls.
