Ain't nothing joystick (or anything new at all) plugged in. However, that version thing was definitely the weird problem. Even though the Kodi start splash screen indicated '19.0', I guess something was going on there. Portable mode you linked to worked, so I then made the point of totally uninstalling then reinstalling Kodi, and it works fine now! I guess Chocolatey might've been to blame for some unclean updating there. Thanks for the help.
