Could you give a try to https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/FirstSteps ?

For example, perhaps LO tries to use OpenGL so you must be sure to have last version of your graphic card drivers.

I tried a couple of things to see if there was a combination
 of apps that caused this. I found if in Kaspersky protected screen
 in Firefox the Librewriter will loose it's ability to display any
 new menu. i.e. if it is running normal (Librewriter) and you look at a menu
 option it will be blank. What connection is the running Firefox got
 with a running Librewriter?

 Thanks Ken B

Dear Julien:

Thanks a million, I unchecked the OpenGL option and it seems to work now!!
Comment 4 Julien Nabet 2019-03-06 18:55:13 UTC
Great this workaround works! :-)

Another thing you can try is checking if your graphic card drivers (which include OpenGL) are up-to-date.
If it's not the case, update them and make a new try.
If after the update, it still fails, it could be interesting you provide some extra information (see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/FirstSteps#Graphics-related_issues_.28OpenGL.29)

Don't understand why insufficent data. I entered a comment in this thread that it was solved and thanked for the help.
Comment 8 Julien Nabet 2019-10-12 13:01:16 UTC
INSUFFICIENTDATA was wrong but FIXED too.
Let's put this one to WFM.

BTW https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=123883#c4 can still be applied.
