It is not normal that removing and reinstalling any application fixes
anything.

Your settings exist in your Home Directory and remain after an
application is uninstalled - and are 'rediscovered' when you reinstall
the application.  Another reason uninstalling and reinstalling doesn't
fix things.

As a side note - as a Systems Engineer with 30 years of IT experience
and ~520 users - uninstalling and reinstalling applications on Windows
rarely fixes things either [not in the last decade, it is a very
obsolete practice].

You need to look for the underlying problem.
