Calc Hangs during Save

[nuevalibre]

Recent install of 7.2.1.2 Portable on Win 10. Saving/auto save works for awhile, but it will eventually hang on either operation. When this happens, I notice disk i/o on my C drive maxing out write activity. It’s consuming multiple GB/minute of free space, and it’s also eating up memory. Can’t seem to find what it’s writing to. I wait for several minutes, but it never finishes whatever it’s doing. I have to kill the process to recover. The calc file I’m working with is on the local C drive,
Did a little searching and found this:

Disabled ‘load printer’ setting and the ‘printer metrics’ as suggested; no change. Restarted in Safe Mode seems to alleviate the problem.
Thanks for any help

Restarted in Safe Mode seems to alleviate the problem.

Backup first

If it works in safe mode, you need to go back to factory settings ||or|| reset your user profile.

Ok, thanks for the links. I reset to factory after backing up. My templates and stuff are still there, so maybe it didn’t quite do what I expected it to. I’ll do some more testing; the wiki article looks like it has several steps to try.
Cheers
