Libreoffice 6.4 freezes on opening file in windows 7 how to solve?

Some files open, the smaller ones. The larger one suddenly stopped opening in a reasonable time after adding a page or so. I think I just need to wait very long 20 minutes till it opens.

this document is showing a small square on the left top of the document with mountains and a sun, that isnt there at other documents. not sure what that is. Cant remember adding that.

The other questions that were answered say that i should increase the memory assigned to libreoffice, but there is nowhere an option to increase the memory. Its about a 30 page document now. Is that too large already to work properly?

Its a 9 year old computer with lots of memory. Other programs still work fine.

Is that too large already to work properly?

How should anybody answer this question, if you don’t provide any specs (CPU, RAM) of your computer. In addition the number of pages is neither a measure for the complexity of a document nor a measure for its memory requirement (“photographs,images,embeded objects” versus “pure text” are the categories)


Did you already try to test whether the problem still exists, if running in LibreOffice's **Safe Mode** using the following procedure:

Test user profile causing the issue:

  • Start LibreOffice
  • Restart in Safe Mode using Help -> Restart in Safe Mode and confirm the restart using button: Restart
  • Click button Continue in Safe Mode
  • Open a file and test whether the problem is gone

?

There is no help → restart in safe mode option in my libreoffice 6.4

It is there since LibreOffice version 5.3. - see LibreOffice user profile - The Document Foundation Wiki

There is no help → restart in safe mode option in my libreoffice 6.4

If needed I can send the document for debugging purposes.

Its not a complicated document just plain text.

Upgraded to libreoffice 7.0 but the problem persists.

In 7.0 there is safe mode, but that changes nothing.

Is the document lost now? I need it.

Maybe I can recover a libreoffice made backup somewhere? where?

The document has been saved from corruption, could still open it with google docs. Ms word probably could also have opened it still.

I also manage to recover it with the function recover document in libreoffice, but now it is broken again.
