kodi won’t open/start

Hi…I have been having trouble w/ kodi the pastt few days….When I press the icon in system tray it says “can’t creat GUI exiting”. I had 3 different kodi’s in my tray. All were 16.1 on my computer tower.I have windows 10,a 5.2 ghz quad core cpu and six gigs ram. All 3 did the same thing at same time…none worked…tried downloading 16.1 over them…no avail…uninstalled all 3…reinstalled new 16.1…same…no gui…deleated…installed 17.1…same…no gui…exiting…then black screen…had to shut comp down manually by button on front as no access to any other screen…restart comp…fully delete 17.1…you get the idea..hehe…soooo…why is kodi not able to creat gui on start and thus need to exit…both 16.1 and 17.1…I’m at a loss…this happens on a fresh install…have changed nothing…all are deleted now but couldn’t have swent a log file as I had no access to kodi…Any input would be appreciated….I”ll need to start from scratch…got old notes from years ago about how to load repositotys ect….but need to get a kodi to load and launch…I’ve like the 16.1…Thanks…jmj
