2. Them i open LibreOffice
3. F. ex. I open Writer
4. It appear a recovery Window for a file that it wasn't created or open because it is a clear installation. (not open files on it because it is the first time that it open on the Windows 7 SP1 on the virtual machine.   .

I use Windows 7 SP1 on a virtual box machine for test things because i had upgrade the S.O to Windows 10.

This screenshot says the LibreOffice version is 7.1.

In you report you seem to claim 7.0.4 doesn't work, nor do 7.1.x or 7.2.x.  Are you sure about that?  Is the problem the same for 7.0.4 and 7.1/7.2?

If only 7.1/7.2 causes crashes, but 7.0.4 works fine, it's likely your Windows 7 is not fully updated and LibreOffice 7.1 or higher needs KB2533623/KB3063858 installed to work on Windows 7. See [1] for more details.

Let me check!
Comment 6 Raul 2021-11-22 19:37:36 UTC
Ok! Now it works fine!
Why not the installer LibreOffice include this update?
KB3063858.(on a 32bits version) i setuped the update and now it works
Now i'm trying to open a file and it opens
Windows 7 doesn't make new updates since January 2020 and i don't know if it can be download automatically. I download manually.
It be only a suggestion for users that it can update his OS automatically or to a new OS like Windows 10. 
Many thanks for you time. 
Regards.

Good to hear.  Let's mark this as a duplicate of bug 144902 then.

> Why not the installer LibreOffice include this update?
I'm not a developer and can't give you a definitive answer, but likely because it's a lot of work (check if we are installing on Windows 7, then check if the specific update is already installed, then install the bundled update) for little gain (Microsoft already stopped support for Windows 7, probably only a small portion of LibreOffice users are still using it on Windows 7, and I'm not sure how long we keep Windows 7 as a supported platform).

If you have further questions, or better suggestions than the status quo (just a notice in the Release Notes), please comment in bug 144902.
