Kodi 17.1 broke on install

I updated my Kodi 16 to kodi 17 as requested. However, Kodi will no longer start up. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling about a dozen times now to no avail. When starting Kodi basically nothing happens. Has anyone else experienced this. I’m in the U.K. and have disabled the provider safe internet vpn issues, but still it won’t even launch. Help please.
