How does that fit together? What do you really want to know?
Allow LibreOffice access to Defender controlled folder
The below numbered list is from Use the Windows Defender Security app to allow specific apps
- Open the Windows Security by
selecting the shield icon in the
task bar or searching the start menu
for Defender. - Select the Virus & threat
protection tile (or the shield
icon on the left menu bar) and then
select Ransomware protection. - Under the Controlled folder
access section, select Allow an
app through Controlled folder
access - Select Add an allowed app and
follow the prompts to add apps. You
need to allow access to
soffice.bin
3rd Party Anti-virus
If you do have a third party anti-virus go into settings and then look for something like anti-ransomware or folder protection. Have a look at the blocked apps list, if you see soffice.bin in there change it to Allowed (you might have to read AV help if not obvious). Otherwise go to the Allowed Apps setting and allow soffice.bin, this might not be easy so you might have to change the file type to All to see it and to add the Allowed list. Note that 3rd party anti-virus might make files Read Only so you can create a new file but you can’t save it subsequently. Sometimes, you might need to reboot after allowing a program access.
If the above don’t work, have a look at General Installation Issues (Windows)
It might be instead, that a Windows Update corrupted your Windows User Profile.
