    does it look like this.

    was it working and you suddenly started getting the error.

    try this close kodi

    type

    %APPDATA%\kodi\userdata

    in the address bar of windows explorer

    or go the long way to the kodi userdata folder

    make sure you can view hidden files on your pc.
    go to C:
    users
    youruser
    appdata
    roaming
    kodi
    userdata


    Delete guisettings.xml and profiles.xml

    try starting kodi
