Start TaskManager (Ctrl Shift Esc) and kill any soffice processes shown on TM's Processes tab (Details tab on Win 10). Note "soffice" with an initial "s". OO should now start up OK when you try it after exiting TM.

I no longer use Windows and am not familiar with the more modern versions, so you should wait for more informed help.
