LibO profile directory changed from
~/.libreoffice/3/user
to
~/.config/libreoffice/3/user
Rename registrymodifications.xcu, that should fix it.

Please add '[Solved]' at the beginning of your first post title (edit button) if your issue has been fixed.

EDIT: Even easier you can delete registrymodifications.xcu and it will be recreated next LO start - then opening templates work fine

Ah sorry, yes, you're under Windows. So try indeed to rename it, no need to move it.
Has it worked?

Up to you. The point is that you remove the file so that a new one is created. Renaming allow to come back if there is no change and if you have to transfer some old settings to the new file.
If you haven't customized OOo very much, you can delete that old file.
