every one of these legal addons work, I have them all Installed on my kodi box so see if you can get any of them to work on your system.

what antivirus r u using?

 

[Thehip66]

AVG ... but I didn’t have any issue with a previous Kodi I had ... I had an older version , that some issues playing shows by times .. so I uninstalled it to try a new version thinking it may play better and not crash .. this is when the current issue became when I tried to add add-ons to the new install

Did you clear the application data when you uninstall the old version? The addon format changed between 16 and 17/18 and sometimes causes problems.
Best is to delete the Application Data folder and run Kodi, it will create the Appdata folder in the new format and then you will be able to install addons
The folder to delete completely is

C:\Users\<your user name>\AppData\Roaming\Kodi

have you updated your windows drivers?
if not use iobit driver booster.
please let us know how you're getting on as others may have/get the same issues.
