    Hello my friends. Please check the attachment, Why am I getting this warning every time I open Inkscape?

    It indicates the file "preferences.xml" is corrupted for some reason (crash of Inkscape / your system / etc.).

    You can delete/rename the file to avoid the warning but your preferences will be lost.

    If you had important preferences, you can look at the file's content to see if it can be restored or not.

    Thanks for your reply. Do you think that if I uninstall and reinstall the software, I can solve the problem?

    No, as that won't reset preferences.

    But you can delete/rename the file as I wrote above.
