I am using the power button on the home screen inside Kodi to shut down. I am on Win 10.

Try just using Exit from that menu and see if that works.

In home.xml for the Estuary Skin, I'd replaced "<onclick>ActivateWindow(ShutdownMenu)</onclick>" with "<onclick>Quit()</onclick>". So when I press the power button, it exits directly. Could this be causing the problem?

No, that's the command Exit uses.

Check that <setting id="home_no_movies_categories_widget" type="bool">true</setting> is being saved correctly in /userdata/addon_data/skin.estuary/settings.xml on exit.

On exit, this setting remains "false" in the xml file:

 true :
<setting id="home_no_movies_categories_widget" type="bool">false</setting>

I clearly disabled the category widgets using the toggle switch before exiting Kodi.

OK, now try editing that line while Kodi is off and then start it up.

Bingo! Yes, now the widgets are disabled! Thank you, Hitcher Smile

But I wonder why it wasn't disabling them from the toggle switch in the settings. If it is a bug, I hope that it has been noted for fixing.

You could try enabling debug logging it to see if logs what happens to the settings.xml when you exit Kodi.

Strangely, nothing's happening to the settings.xml. It didn't log anything for that.

You probably have to enable component specific logging to see them.

Depending on the OS in use, you can create a copy of the file, name it settings.old, make the changes and then compare those files to see the changes in the end.

I know...it's way harder if you are on an Android device Wink
