Sony android tv help.

I installed kodi 16 to my sony tv. Now that it has upgraded to 17 there are a couple of things I can’t get to work. When I go to the top left of the screen and click on the gear icon (assume that means options/settings) it opens a blank screen. I can’t do anything. Also, things I have added to favorites will not give me an option to remove. I have tried with the tv remote and using a mouse. Can anyone help without telling me to go into the app settings and clearing data? Thank you.
