The LibreOffice window is like this when it hangs

LibreOffice 4.3.0.4 Fresh does not work on my Windows 8.1 laptop.
I tested this bug on two TOSHIBA Satellite notebooks with Windows 8.1 preinstalled.
Microsoft Office 2013 is installed with the "Click to Run" method too. I don't know if this bug comes from a conflict with Microsoft Office.

I've installed LibreOffice from the official website, french version (fr.libreoffice.com) with default components.
After the installation, when LibreOffice starts a first time, I can see the LibreOffice logo with progress bar and first installation.
Next, the LibreOffice home window where normally I can choose a LibreOffice program opens less than one second, and LibreOffice crashes. I can see the window "libre office s'est brutalement arrêté" one second but it closes immediately. A white window opens and closes immediately.

Now, when I attempt to open LibreOffice, I've just a white window "LibreOffice" with nothing inside. The wait cursor appears when the mouse is into the window, and Windows tells me that LibreOffice has crashed.

I tried to Repair the LibreOffice installation, but I've still the same problem.

LibreOffice 4.2.6.2 works correctly on my computer.

I tried to launch LibreOffice using settings of Windows 7/8, with the Program Compatibility troubleshooter of Windows 8.1 and I've the same problem.
