I use Kodi 18.9 and it worked good.Recently, I update the Windows and the problem started after that. Now, I can't open the Kodi and even I open it, it freezes when trying to exit Kodi. How can I fix this?

There are many reasons this could happen, from new Windows Defender settings blocking Kodi processes, to you possibly updating Windows with a Local file, and not getting the latest Service Pack or Security updates available.

Recommend you ensure your version of Windows os is up to date, and you have 32 or 64 bit machine with the corresponding 32/64 bit version of Kodi.
Then I would just re-install Kodi (if on Win 10, you should install from the Windows Store, if possible)

Thank you for sharing this information.. I also thought reinstalling the Kodi would be the best solution I could use but I wasn't aware of installing it from Windows store would be crucial, thank you for sharing all these things
