Unable to start after windows 8.1 update 1

Windows 8.1 update 1 x64 enterprise

Shortly after updating to windows 8.1 update 1 SABnzbd started to act weird for me. I noticed that sometimes during post processing the PC would reboot (I RDP into it so often don't see when it does so) and this happened 2 or 3 times. I then had to do a queue repair as SABnzbd would inform of errors.

Repeat this a few times and now SABnzbd will not even start for me. I have tried in both regular and safe mode, and also with run as administrator.

SABnzbd detected a fatal error:
"C:\Users\Me\AppData\Local\sabnzbd\sabnzbd.ini" is not a valid configuration file
Error message: Invalid line at line "1".

I delete the .ini as instructed but when I try to start SABnzbd again it generates another .ini (with file size of 5KB) and informs of the same error. If I try to view the .ini it is empty.

Help!

Remove both sabnzbd.ini and sabnzbd.ini.bak
