Description Jay 2026-01-12 19:25:04 UTC 
Description:
After it failed to operate, I deleted 28.4.2 from my computer & tried to reinstall an older version. That did not succeed. I am normally a heavy LibreOffice Write user, and now I have no ability to access my thousands of files, and can't create new ones. HELP.

Actual Results:
LibreOffice no longer appears on my computer, and the only version available to download from LibreOffice is 28.4.2, which is the one that I just downloaded, and which caused the software to cease operating.

Expected Results:
After downloading 28.4.2, LibreOffice should have opened and operated normally.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
LibreOffice should have opened normally.

You can access to all LibreOffice versions in:

Maybe an issue with Windows Defender.
