Description hdiaros 2025-06-18 18:47:59 UTC 
Description:
The Libreoffice installation parameter ‘REMOVE=gm_o_Onlineupdate’ does not work.
Users have auto-update enabled in the Libreoffice configuration.

Steps to Reproduce:
Parameters used in the installation

1. msiexec.exe /i "LibreOffice_24.8.6_Win_x86-64.msi" ALLUSERS=1 /qn /norestart /log output.log ADDLOCAL=ALL AgreeToLicense=Yes REGISTER_ALL_MSO_TYPES=1 REMOVE=gm_o_Onlineupdate ISCHECKFORPRODUCTUPDATES=0 RebootYesNo=No


2. Removing libreoffice user profile or reinstalling the program does not solve the problem either.


3. Renaming the executable "C:\Program Files\LibreOffice\program\updater.exe" to "C:\Program Files\LibreOffice\program\updater.exe.old" prevents Libreoffice from auto-updating, but causes the program not to open on the first double-click. Libreoffice opens on the second try.

Actual Results:
No problem solved

Expected Results:
Disable Libreoffice auto-update on Libreoffice installation



Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Additional Info:
On physical machines and non-persistent virtual desktops, Libreoffice cannot auto-update.
