OpenOffice 4.1.7 hangs when trying to open a document

Post by CanamDave »

Since upgrading to Windows 11, I find that when I double-click on a Write file to open it, OpenOffice will open but the document will not. I must close the program (a message appears saying that Microsoft is being notified of the problem). Then when I immediately double-click the file again, it opens normally. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Problems with OpenOffice on Windows 11 are turning into a sort of thing on this forum. Best advice is to try LibreOffice and see how you do with that. There are several good reasons to make the switch some of which are detailed here: [Tutorial] Considering a Switch from OpenOffice to LibreOffice? Some Useful Information
Windows 10 Pro. x64
LibreOffice (Still) 7.6.5.2 (x64) Fully installed to system
