I'm having a difficult time in starting 2020 it starts asking for safe or reg mode..   either way crashes on start up . 

Should I re-install or ? 

Thanks for looking

Empty your community folder.

Just move it to a temporary folder

If all starts moves things back slowly until you fond the culprit

Mine does that, now and again. Re @Ron Lefebvre 's suggestion; this where the MSFS Addons LInker is useful. It makes life easier when trying to turn stuff 'off'. 

I'd ignore the safe mode start and try again. If that fails, reboot and try again. 

If you installed from the MS Store, reinstalling ought to be easier. 

Just rename the community folder to communitybak.  If it's ok then it may be an addon causing an issue.

It also happens when the sim crashes or is incorrectly shut down.

If you have a lot of addons, it's a bit of a pain trying to find the one causing the problem, but you may have some suspicions and at least try restarting without your most recent addons installed.

Well my issue is fixed at least, In graphics in sim my settings were DLSS & Quality, changed it to TAA and all worked fine, changed it back to DLSS & Quality and all is still fine, oh well.
