I have tried to insert image PNG and JPG in Writer 5.4.2.2 and it works for me.

Maybe you can install fresh version and try it. Good luck!

Actions taken:

* Uninstalled LibreOffice
* Rebooted Windows
* Downloaded and installed LibreOffice 5.4.2.2
* Opened an existing document, attempted to insert a PNG image using the toolbarbutton
* LibreOffice Writer came back with a dialog box 'Image filter not found'
* Situation is unchanged wrt previous bug report.

I am on a fully-patched Windows 7 64 bit installation and I downloaded the 64 bit version of LibreOffice.

What if you do: Help - Restart in safe mode and then Continue in safe mode without touching any other option?
