Hello!
The title says the issue. Whenever I open and try to use Krita, a window pops up and says, "Krita cannot find any brush presets! krita will quit now." And quits.
I've tried several things, like uninstalling but it just says "Unable to install brush preset _____" for every single brush preset. I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times trying to find the issue and googled several titles on how to restore and fix Krita brushes. I don't know if this has something to do with the new update, I haven't been able to use Krita since 12/19/2017. I have not created any brushes myself, if anyone's wondering.
This is a huge issue because I use Krita fairly often on Windows 10, and I'm not completely sure what the issue is; though I assume that it might be a bug in the new installation. No clue how to switch to versions because I've switched back and forth on the www.Krita.org website, and found nothing.
Provided as much as I could give, thank you for anyone who helps. This is my first time posting on here and I hope the people here are ever so kind.

Kritarc is already gone in %appdata% and will not appear no matter how many times I reinstall Krita completely.

How about %localappdata%? kritarc is not located in %appdata%.

Just checked %localappdata% and it is there! good thing. But I'm not quite sure what to look for... I also am not sure how this will help me, the Config didn't crash me but instead my brush presets went missing. I think it's because the newest version just couldn't install the presets. I installed and uninstalled completely but I got the same result. It's an installation issue
