please excuse late reply - I had not een the request;

yet: I changed the user-profile (which seemded indeed dating back from before I reinstalled;

after that I used the safe mode (which is included in that pop-up screen), to also reset the userprofile (the last radio-button)

neither did help, although I must admit that I did not restart the machine in between;

I could try and remove the program again and erase the user profile, and reinstall - would that help?

on itself it's no big deal - just another click to get rid of the pop-up screen - which is annoying, but that's all - the programm functions fine

Please copy and paste here the contents of your Help - About. This allows us to know more about your system.

Set to NEEDINFO.

I see you have OpenGL enabled. Try disabling it in Tools - Options - LibreOffice - View - Use OpenGL for all rendering

Did disabling OpenGL help with the crash report issue?

> Did disabling OpenGL help with the crash report issue?

Thank you for your reply: no, it didn't - 

to be honest I did not know the question was still open until I had a reminder a few days ago - I went as far as reinstalling (uninstalling through Revo) the program, but the message keeps popping up - meanwhile I'm so used to the extra click to make the call for the crashreoprt to go away that it just seems part of the start-up process - every once and a while it still annoys me a little, but basically I'm a happy user of LibreOffice - this small hiccup is quite acceptable - thanks for your help

I'm not a developer, but perhaps it could help to send the crash report and to post the link to that crash report here. Perhaps somebody can get useful informations from that.

just sent it, this is the url
crashreport.libreoffice.org/stats/crash_details/40388cfd-1b5d-4a6c-a9db-7e2051a912f5

Thanks for the crash signature.
all ig9icd64.dll crashes are related to Win 10.
Do you have any pending update on Windows ? does the crash gets fixed if you update it ?

I'd expect a driver update to a recent version will get rid of this crash.

thank you for your replies;

when I first reported this, I suppose the pop-up window was there already for quite some time - I cannot imagine there hasn't been any windows-updates since then (home-edition: not much to choose);

I'm not sure which driver needs updating, or how to do that;

as I've written before, I've come to consider the extra click to open the program (or a document for that matter) as a slightly annoying but not as a great obstacle in using LibreOffice;

thank you for the continued interest;

You could try Device Manager -> Display adapters -> Intel(R) HD Graphics 530 - > Update Driver

It seems you have Intel HD 530. According to https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/products/88345/graphics-drivers/graphics-for-6th-generation-intel-processors/intel-hd-graphics-530.html the latest version is 25.20.100.6373 from this month while yours is 2,5 years old as we see from comment 9

A small note here, the way Intel does things, the download version and the driver version tend to be completely different numbers, and one can't be figured out from the other, but the release date of the drivers should be a good point of reference.

Updated the driver to version 22.20.16.4735 (and had, by chance, an apparently minor, update from W10 last night) but unfortunately it does not make any difference with the crash report: that's still there

This is the only report for 20.109 Windows x-64 bugs from LO 5.2 where reporting is available to LO 6.2.0.1. 
We always have a question should this be confirmed, because we have not steps. 
My view is that we should, because of large number of crash reports.

Unless we get steps on how to reproduce it, it doesn't make sense to move this particular report to NEW,ig9icd64.dll is a dynamic library, the same as mergedlo.dll. The reports from those crashes aren't informative at all...

Hello Harriet,
LibreOffice 6.2.2.2 is going to be released today, could you please try again
with this version to see if the problem has been resolved meanwhile? Thanks in
advance

thank you for your continued interest in "my problem", I do appreciate your efforts!

I did as requested, downloaded and ran version 6.2.2.2. (and installing took unexpectedly long) - I had several messages about conflict with running processes, so I restarted the computer after the -succesfull-  install - unfortunately the pop-up screen is still there, I'm sorry to say; this is the fresh crashreport: crashreport.libreoffice.org/stats/crash_details/cf29f466-24f4-43fa-a11e-ba0d578ded23

cheers, h.

I wonder why the driver is not being updated to something more recent?

adding comment from https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice-bugs/2019-March/176629.html (outage): 

"windows says "the best drivers for your device are already installed", when I
tried for a fresh update - I will not tamper with that
thnks"

@Julien, do you think we should blacklist the driver considering Windows claims it's updated ?

(In reply to Xisco Faulí from comment #28)

Indeed, I can't see other workaround than this. Now I'm not an expert.

I won't be able to submit a patch before tonight, so if you're interested, here's an example of blacklist I had done:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=7aeff452bfd308d122c319ed5135bd98e90590f8
but you may find other ones and may need to adapt a bit.

Patch in gerrit: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/71666/

Xisco Fauli committed a patch related to this issue.
It has been pushed to "master":

https://git.libreoffice.org/core/+/ed423da9d968d6f534a6d4d27b45aa96cd5b47d4%5E%21

tdf#115092: blacklist Intel(R) HD Graphics 530

It will be available in 6.3.0.

The patch should be included in the daily builds available at
https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/ in the next 24-48 hours. More
information about daily builds can be found at:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Testing_Daily_Builds

Affected users are encouraged to test the fix and report feedback.

Hello Harriet Anders,
Could you please try to reproduce it with a master build from http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/ ( date from tomorrow or later ) ?
You can install it alongside the standard version.

thank you for your continuing attention;

from the list you provided, I'm not sure which one to chose, and equally not sure if a new installation does not affect my present - can you provide a portable version (i.e. an installation that does not nest itself in the register (please be aware that I have only limited technical knowledge);

I noticed that the status of my original question is set to "resolved"- that is not how I would phrase it: every time I start the progam I have to use an extra click to open it, because of this crash report

for the best part of the coming weeks I will be largely out of reach of Internet, if there are newer requests expect a delay in my responding

thank you, best h

You'll need the instructions for a parallel installation as well, pretty simple once you've done it a couple of times.

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel

installed the suggested version (Win64) in a separate folder, but could not find a way to make it run (and the explanation in the wiki howto is absolutely beyond me where it is on the Windows runtime feature, which is probably missing) - so I deleted this version again through Revo, which took worryingly long, but was hopefully complete;

again, I appreciate all your efforts, but you have to realise I'm merely a humble end-user, most certainly not computerwise at all (I find LibreOffice itself to be complex to work with in the first place);

I'll have a look here later on today (MET), but after that I'm offline for a few weeks - cheers

Eh, the wiki instructions are not needed, when using a daily master build. It should have been enough to simply install it. Then it is found under the name LibreOfficeDev.
