Please do exactly that :
- Uninstall Ancestris 13
- Remove totally the directory "C:\Program Files\Ancestris"
- Remove the cache : C:\Users\Matjaž\.ancestris\13\var\cache
- Remove the update directory if they exists : C:\Users\Matjaž\.ancestris\13\modules ; C:\Users\Matjaž\.ancestris\13\update_tracking
- Install Ancestris 13 from the setup as you have previously done.
- Launch Ancestris, it should be OK.

Thanks, Zurga. One thing has been resolved, i.e. no more duplicate entries in the Menu Bar. But the Unexpected Exception Warning hasn't disappeared. Something to do about one node name being too long!? Nevertheless, all the functionalities seem to have been working fine so far.

The warning is the cause of duplicates entries.
We have changed the name of the modules to avoid a too long names.
Therefore, if both modules are present, there is a duplicate entry.
That's why you need to uninstall everything.

Now, we will delete the corresponding too long name.
Please remove the following file :
C:\Users\Matjaž\.ancestris\13\config\Preferences\ancestris\modules\editors\genealogyeditor\ancestris-modules-editors-genealogyeditor-editors.properties

After making all the steps above, now there is only one editor in this directory: C:\Users\Matjaž\.ancestris\13\config\Preferences\ancestris\modules\editors\genealogyeditor. The warning appears again. This time it says: Node name ancestris\modules\editors\ancestris-modules-editors-genealogyeditor-table.properties too long.

Yes, you will have 2 or three files of this kind to delete.
Just delete it.
 C:\Users\Matjaž\.ancestris\13\config\Preferences\ancestris\modules\editors\ancestris-modules-editors-genealogyeditor-table.properties

Do the same for the next errors.

You also can delete all the "Preferences" directory, but you will lose all your preferences of the software, which is not the most user-friendly mechanism.
So, I recommend to delete file by file.
