Hello,
Since updating to 17 (first 17.0 then 17.1) my kodi won’t exit properly. And consequently, windows won’t shutdown. Worse is that I can’t start Kodi once it is in this state. I have to go to the task manager to end the task until I can start Kodi again.
After searching the forums I found some threads indicating this can be plugin related. I tried disabling all plugins but the behavior remained.
So I thought, lets wipe the installation and start fresh. I uninstalled Kodi, asked it to clean my %APPDATA% folder which it didn’t so I cleaned it manually. I also cleaned my registry from all items related to Kodi. Next I installed 17.1. So the current situation is without anything installed and with the basic settings (I just added my source folders). Now Kodi freezed upon exit (i.e. i type “s” and then choose the top option “exit”) after a few seconds windows recognizes the freeze and proposes to end the process for me.
I tried starting and exiting many times, and this behavior is consistent. I’ve enabled debugging and I’ve put the kodi.log here.
I’m running windows 10 version 1607 build 14393.1066.
Any tips on solving this matter would be greatly appreciated!
