Hi
I have just downloaded Kodi v17.3 with Krypton theme.
I have by mistake disabled the mouse function in the settings. And now I cant enter settings (change it back) or exit Kodi. I can only navigate in the main menu > Movies, Tv Shows etc.
My remote and keybord cant go up to settings/power off button.
How can I change this back?
Thank you!

you can go up until you are on first point of the home menu. then you come to the upper icons.

Weird...
You should be able to go to the settings button using the arrow on your keyboard
If you really can not, then go to C:\Users\YourWindowsUserName\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata and delete guisettings.xml file
WARNING: it will reset all kodi settings to default

No matter how many times i enter UP with my remote or both keyboards it will stop at Movies. It cant go up to the upper "setting/power off/files" buttons. I think the mouse disabling is the reason for that; I could do it before I disabled mouse. The problem is that I cant change it back without entering settings and I cant just reset everything either because I have used a lot of time to set everything up as it is.
I imagine that I need to change some code in the APPDATA folder, but I have not idea where...
I hope someone can help!

FIRST, thank you both for your help!
I tried to rename it to guisettings.old and it did not help (with Kodi closed)
I also tried to edit guidesettings file and it says: <enablemouse default="true">true</enablemouse> - And I dont know why, but it still does not work... I think however, its because I also have a older version of Kodi installed?
Because the mouse does work in the old version of Kodi.

Yes the settings in the guisettings file in the AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata folder are for the old version of Kodi.
So I just need to find the guisettings file for the new version of Kodi and than I think that it will work. But I cant find it...

YES I do use Kodi 17.3 from windows store. Is there any cons of that?
Do you know where location of the guisettings.xml file is than?

[c:]\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\Packages\XBMCFoundation.Kodi_4n2hpmxwrvr6p\LocalCache\Roaming\Kodi\userdata\
[user] should be your user name on the computer..... best to use explorer and follow the path to the file.
And yes 'enable "show hiden folder" in windows.
