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.
Here is a link to Kodi install info for Windows;

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
