The broken setting is that setting (the third one). Its label will be visible once you restart Kodi properly.
Edit: Or something else is broken or caches something. No idea. I have no control over this.
This is after a full reboot. Iāll just restart kodi now and see. But that would make zero sense.
Edited my answer 
If you canāt fix it, you should be able to just activate that broken-label setting. Thereās no difference, functionally.
Have you tried to deinstall, delete data and reinstallation?

I donāt have the option to only restart kodi. I did another full reboot and it shows now. So just took two reboots.

It doesnāt belong here, but weāre currently talking about the settings.
Does anyone know if itās possible to get Kodi to stay in the settings instead of home?
So if Iām in the settings and press the back button on my remote control once too often, i get to the home screen.
Is there any way to prevent this?
Please donāt write:
Donāt press back too often! 
Probably not. Thatād mean for Kodi to have a mode where it doesnāt respect its own Window management. You could achieve that with a custom key management util, but I donāt know whether you can do that easily.
Edit: E.g. youād have to implement keybindings that are aware of the current window. Itās probably possible with scripting and rebinding your back key.
Damnā¦ But thanks for the info!
Again: Itās possible. Youāll probably want to look at https://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Keymap_Editor.
Wow, that was quick! 
-Triggered the PM4K beta update
-Rebooted
-Exited to CoreELEC after auto-starting into PM4K
-Applied the āAlways auto-startā PM4K add-on setting and set the CoreELEC startup window to āSettingsā
-āRestart Kodiā
Success! Behaving as expected for me, and does seem to improve the start-up time as the setting description mentions, unless Iām just imagining things after having read it, haha.
Thank you for the update, panni!
Iām coming up blank trying to find you on kofi

Awesome!
Youāre not. It seems to take Kodi a little time to report its current window ID to be accessible from PM4K. As that setting causes us to ignore the window state, itās possible that the auto-start happens faster than normal.

Thinking about making this setting a default. Any objections?

Really no reason not to. Pretty sure everyone is just running the boxes for the same exclusive reason
