Problems with Kodi Krypton 17 App

I currently have Kodi Krypton v17. At times when I open Kodi it will open to a black screen, this is on my current Krypton v17 (& my former Jarvis v16). I found out the fix is going to Settings, Apps, Kodi & clearing the cache will fix this problem so I did this. From there the Kodi app May or May Not open properly but when it does finally open I can’t run ANY of my Add ons-neither video nor music-when I click on them they again open to a black screen. Any suggestionsConfused?? Help!
