Kodi 17.1 freezes / crashes instantly on boot

Hey, i used to be a XBMC user back in the days and thought I’d give Kodi a try. Unfortunately Kodi freezes / crashes on boot. All I get is the spalsh screen. No menus.

I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling several different builds 17.1 / 17.0 / 16.1 and experience the same issue.

Running a fairly fresh install of Windows 10 Home 64-bit
CPU is Intel Core i7-4770K with 16GB RAM

Searched the forums and all-mighty G(oogle) for help with no luck. What am I missing?

I manually turned on debugging through advancedsettings.xml – here’s the log from v17.1: https://pastebin.com/CN59F9HU
