New Controller detected…..

I installed Krypton 17.0 on my fire tv and everything was working great. Got a pop up notice that I needed to upgrade to 17.1, which I did. Now when I try to go into Kodi, it tells me a new controller is detected. Configuration can be done at anytime in Settings…..etc. The screen has a toggle for “do I want to configure it now….yes or no?”. My screen is frozen and I cannot select either. When I reset my fire box and go back into Kodi, the same screen pops up and I am unable to do anything. Krypton 17.1 has basically disabled Kodi for me.
Help!

So I tried uninstalling 17.1 and putting 17.0 on my TV. Now the controller is freezing in 17.0 also. Have been using a game controller since I got fire tv and never had an issue with version 16.xx. So now I basically have only amazon to watch. BTW, I tried to hurry to change the settings to configure the game controller and it freezes before I can even get to settings. Even thought that it might be a battery issue so I changed out the batteries in my game controller. That didn’t help either.

I hope that this can be corrected ASAP, since I AM REQUIRED TO INSTALL KRYPTON in order to use Kodi.
