Help!
My Calc app is all white, blank program window. I think this may have happened before, due to a OpenGL issue?? I can not even see the menu bar to open settings. If I use Alt + F, etc. to open a menu shortcut, it is also all white window.
How do I fix this if I can't see the settings?
I already attempted a repair on the install, rebooted, same issue.
LibreOffice_6.1.0_Win_x64

Re: Blank white program window, can't see settings or anythi
Welcome to the Forums.
I have to admit, this is the first time I've heard of this with as a problem with a program. I have heard of it happening as a hardware failure, but as you state you've already tried a repair, it's not affecting your ability to see the basic Windows functions, thus not a hardware problem (imo).
That said, have you tried doing a reset on the User Profile? If not, instructional assistance is available here
Repairing the installation or even uninstalling and then reinstalling does not affect the user profile.

Re: Blank white program window, can't see settings or anythi
Thanks for your reply. Idk anything about user profiles...
But I remembered that when this happened in the past (6-12m ago?), I uninstalled OpenOffice and installed LibreOffice as a fix. I had forgotten this when I posted to these forums. Guess the issue migrated to LibreOffice, maybe due to a Win 10 update that was forced through...?
Posted fixes such as changing the graphics render engine and turning on/off hardware acceleration did not work for me. Previously, I knew the keyboard shortcuts to blind navigate to those settings and change them, not so this time.
The solution that worked was to uninstall LibreOffice_6.1.0_Win_x64 and install OpenOffice 4.1.6, I guess the developers fixed this issue.

Re: [Solved] Blank white program window, can't see menu/sett
There were multiple topics/posts regarding OpenOffice not working properly after a Windows 10 update.
Later on, it was reported that another update fixed the problem, but I don't recall any of the other posts giving the same symptoms as what you were describing
