OpenOffice suddenly unstable

Post by JMCisar »

About two months ago, or a little less, OpenOffice (I usually work only in writer and calc, but occasionally other programs in OpenOffice) began shutting down every 20 minutes (more or less) of time spent working on it. Has anyone else experienced this? I have the latest updates. Any suggestions?

This is probably caused by a Windows 10 upgrade. See this post for details, and the link from it to to prevent that upgrade reinstalling

 Edit: Also start TaskManager (Ctrl Shift Esc) and kill any soffice processes shown on TMs tabs. note the initial "s" in soffice
