Integration with Windows Explorer is more a Windows registry issue. Possible if you upgraded from 7.6 to 24.2 We'd need a verbose msiexec.exe /l*v log to even look at what did/didn't get touched. No way after the fact, so best approach at this time is to uninstall (appwiz.cpl from an admin enabled command line). First Rename/Delete your user profile (C:\users\<yourUser>\AppData\Roaming\LibreOffice). And then install again from scratch. GUI or command line msiexec (to catch a log). Please report if that resolves issue for you. Or if you decide to go back around again, i.e. to install 7.6 then upgrade to 24.2 (but this time with a full log). Absent that, this will likely be a "works for me" resolution.

Yup...works very well for me!
> Integration with Windows Explorer is more a Windows registry issue. Integration with Windows Explorer is done via Windows Registry. it's not an issue. Result of creating new document basically an empty file. > Possible if you upgraded from 7.6 to 24.2 I upgraded from last previous released version to 24.2. > We'd need a verbose msiexec.exe /l*v log to even look at what did/didn't get touched. No way after the fact, so best approach at this time is to uninstall (appwiz.cpl from an admin enabled command line). I don't install updates. Kasperskiy Antivirus somehow does it in background and runs setup silently. > First Rename/Delete your user profile (C:\users\<yourUser>\AppData\Roaming\LibreOffice). After it, it's reproduced. > And then install again from scratch. GUI or command line msiexec (to catch a log). Installation from scratch solved the issue. I'm able to type now. Although I don't understand why it became broken after Kasperskiy updated it in the background. All previous times it worked flawlessly. Thanks for your help.
