Create a new wallet using file > new/restore. When you asked whether you want a segwit or standard wallet choose standard.

that is not invalid, that is the new format used by SegWit wallets. they are called "Bech32" which is a standard for native segregated witness output addresses using it.
you can read the details in the respective BIP: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0173.mediawiki
