It is not actually a windows service that is installed, it is simply an
application that gets started when digiKam (or some other kde app) is launched.
Do you use any other KDE software? If so, would you have any qualms deleting
your preferences for all KDE software?

I'm wondering if there is an issue with some file being there from a previous
installation. Could you do the following:

1. restart your computer
2. uninstall digikam (via the programs and features control panel)
3. restart your computer
4. delete folder (if it exists) C:\Program Files (x86)\digiKam
5. if you have no problem losing all preferences in KDE apps, delete your kde
preferences folder located here:
   C:\Users\<your windows username>\AppData\Roaming\.kde
6. either reinstall digikam 2.2.0, or wait until tomorrow and install 2.3.0
7. try running digikam again!

Out of curiosity, do you use any firewall software besides the one built in to
windows? Or an anti-virus software other than microsoft defender or security
essentials?
