[Solved] OpenOffice 4.1.15 Crashes in Windows 11

[RICDELL]

please help.... I've been using Open Office for several years both on Windows and on MAC.

I am using version 4.1.15 on Windows 11

Recently the app keeps crashing in Windows 11. Many times it is while I am trying to navigate through a large text document with complicated tables or a large spreadsheet. I am also unable to use the "find" window without the program crashing. Incidentally I am not having this problem with these files on my iMac, running Sequoia 15.5.

I have tried to delete the app and reinstall it .. This works for about an hour or so then crashes again... Each time I re-install, and launch, the program repairs the last opened files.

Thank you for your help in letting me know what I can do to keep Open Office from crashing.

Thank you

I do not see a toggle for Suggested Actions and the Clipboard history is already turned off... (see attached screen cap)

It seems that the suggested actions feature has been rolled out in Windows 11.
In this case, not sure what could do the trick since it seems to work well for many W11 users.
You can try to reset your OpenOffice user profile.
And if no change, you can check with LibreOffice: [Tutorial] Considering a Switch from OpenOffice to LibreOffice? Some Useful Information.

Hello Again

Thank you for your suggestions.

Unfortunately Open Office profile reset did not work.

I downloaded and installed LibreOffice... Will try this package now.

Thank you Again
