Nvidia profile inspector startup crash

Nvidia profile inspector was crashing when I open it in my windows machine.


Found out it was because there was an xml file in this folder that was corrupted for some reason

 C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\NVIDIA Profile Inspector

settings.xml


It was full of unreadable characters so I replaced it with the default


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>

<UserSettings>

  <WindowTop>63</WindowTop>

  <WindowLeft>359</WindowLeft>

  <WindowWidth>879</WindowWidth>

  <WindowHeight>519</WindowHeight>

  <WindowState>Normal</WindowState>

  <ShowCustomizedSettingNamesOnly>false</ShowCustomizedSettingNamesOnly>

  <ShowScannedUnknownSettings>false</ShowScannedUnknownSettings>

</UserSettings>


Works ok now.
