Description jan 2023-06-28 06:41:31 UTC
Description:
We have 3 Windows 11 systems with Version 7.5.3.2.
At  the first start after starting the system the small LibreOffice start window stops when the progress bar reaches about 30 %.
After closing the program in the task manager, LibreOffice starts normally at the second try.
I have reset my user settings and disabled hardware acceleration without success.
The program also crashes much more often in normal use than in previous versions.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start LibreOffice
2.Start window hangs
3.

Actual Results:
No response of the program

Expected Results:
Normal start


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Additional Info:
Normal start

Any better with LO 7.5.4 ?
Comment 2 Julien Nabet 2023-06-28 09:15:53 UTC
Response sent in private: "no, unfortunately not."

(Please next time respond on the bugtracker by using this link https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156085# so the information is shared.)

Thank you for the feedback, I don't have more questions here.

Do you see a crash reporter dialog when restarting LO? If so, please share the crash report link.

Please also share the detailed version info copied from Help > About LibreOffice.

If you don't get a crash report, it would be helpful to get a backtrace for that crash. If you have the time, please follow these steps: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/How_to_get_a_backtrace_with_WinDbg

The windbg trace shows nothing. Once you did "g" to indicate "go", you must try to reproduce a crash.
Once it crashes, you must type 
!analyze -v
to retrieve an useful stacktrace.

Argh, the stack only contains this:
00000000`00000000 00000000`00000000 soffice.bin!unknown_function+0x0
which can't help I suppose.

I must recognize I'm stuck here.
Comment 9 Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2023-07-04 11:54:31 UTC
Please also provide the Skia log: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/FirstSteps#Graphics-related_issues_(_Skia_)

And test if the issue is Skia-related by using "Force Skia software rendering" in Tools ▸ Options ▸ LibreOffice ▸ View

Thank you!

skia.log

skia.log inncludes only 2 lines
disabling/enabling of "Force Skia software rendering" does not solve the problem.

Comment 12 Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2023-07-05 15:08:04 UTC
Right, thank you.

Moving on to other ideas:
- please check that all updates for drivers and OS are installed
- try completely uninstalling LO, including removing the user profile, and reinstalling

Still no luck? Are the three devices exactly the same hardware?
Comment 13 jan 2023-07-06 09:32:46 UTC
Resetting profile and reinstallation we have tried without success.
We have 3 different computers, two of them Win 11, one Win 10.
Comment 14 Roman Kuznetsov 2023-07-08 11:53:42 UTC
jan, what hardware do you use? CPU and GPU? Could you try to start LibreOffice in Safe mode using main menu item for it?

Even though it's somewhat an old version, the issue smells like as this one: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157135#
