Description:

Everything worked earlier today.
I was in a saved Calc doc, I deleted the old info, then I tried to delete old formatting.  Calc froze.  

I rebooted

I tried to open that same saved doc, but it would not open, So i downloaded and installed (updated to) the latest version of Libre Offie. Now Libre Office STILL won't open. 
Libre will not open from the desktop icon, saved .ods files will not open, Libre Office Calc will not open from the windows menu. 

I have rebooted 2x since then. Once for the install/update, and again after the docs still would not open. 

No new software or hardware installed.
