Description Louiza Wise 2022-08-25 16:59:41 UTC
Description:
I am unable to open a LibreOffice file or any LibreOffice application. I attempted to look for similar reports and the suggestions had me use the Microsoft Run command to open Libre in safe mode which works but then I am unable to restore backup or reset. I am forced to Continue in safe mode. I must repeat this process of opening the Run Command and continuing in safe mode every time i want to open a LibreOffice file.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Attempt to open any LibreOffice file
2.
3.

Actual Results:
The LibreOffice Community screen opens, loads and closes immediately

Expected Results:
The LibreOffice Community screen should open and then load the correct file


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

When you start LO, please paste here info from Help-About. To know Windows version. 
This may be Skia bug related to graphic card, as bug 145803, so you need to run without Skia. 

You may start from command line or via script (replacing path-to) with:
set SAL_DISABLESKIA=1 
path-to\soffice.exe

Or make a shortcut as one-liner:

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c "set SAL_DISABLESKIA=1 && START /D ^"C:\Program Files\LibreOffice\program^" soffice.exe  --norestore"

Does User Profile Reset: Yes really mean you deleted or renamed LO user profile folder?
