[Solved] OpenOffice svxcore.dll error

Post by SimonW »

Hello All
Open Office stopped working on Windows 11 today (it was fine yesterday!) and I get a window saying that svxcore.dll is either not designed to run on Windows 11 or it contains an error. I have tried reinstalling Open Office but still get this message.
Does anyone have any ideas about what is wrong?

Update
It seems that Windows' Smart App Control has decided (overnight) that svxcore.dll is not signed properly?

Probably a faulty message from Win 11.

Have a look here: https://www.dll4free.com/svxcore.dll.html

They offer a download and a fix.
