Description solidpurple 2021-01-05 22:30:00 UTC
Description:
I installed 7.0.3.1 (Dutch version) as an update to 6.4.4. Opening a document did not work, the program freezes with a blank screen. I can use safe mode to open a document. In safe mode I went back to factory settings (applied with both options selected). This did not help, still program freeze with blank screen. I tried several times to no avail. I deleted the dir 4 in appdata/roaming/libre office, problem continued. I did a repair with the LibreOffice installer, no help. I did an uninstall with the LibreOffice installer, followed by a strict uninstall with Revo uninstaller. Reboot and new install of version 7.0.3.1, same problem, I can only work in safe mode. Any help most welcome.

Thank you Telesto, graphic driver updated and profile reset, unfortunately no difference. Program only works in Safe Mode.

I love to address my own questions. With the January 2021 update of Windows 10 version 1909, KB4535680 and KB4598229, the issue is solved. Libre Office works in normal mode again. I cannot discern which part of the update makes the difference. Might have to do with a security setting. But anyway, maybe this is helpful for someone else with this issue.
Thank you for your kind interest.
