Hi Al,
Thanks for that, but I tried, and it still won’t open.
Hello again Al,
Yes, I clicked right on both a .odt and a .doc files, chose LibreOffice writer, ticked the box which said Always use this app to open … but nothing happened. However, in Task Manager I could see LO in the list.
I wonder if your anti-virus is blocking. If you add soffice.bin to your list of Allowed apps in anti-ransomware or restricted folder access setting in your AV, can you then open the files?
Lets have a go.
In Windows Security, I turned off ‘Ap & browser control’ but to no change.
I looked in Bitdefender but found nowhere I could add ‘soffice.bin’.
I turned off Bitdefender firewall and again no change.
I had a look at what I could see about Bitdefender. I couldn’t find any instructions but I did see a review that had a picture of the screen. It seems that you can, in Bitdefender, go into Settings > Protection > Ransomware Remediation > Exceptions and add soffice.bin
Step-by-Step:
Right click → Run on Windows Start
menu (or Windows Key + R) Type
“%ProgramFiles%\LibreOffice\program\soffice”
into Open text field (including the
double quotes) Click OK
I also could not open LO Portable due to:
The application unable to start correctly 0xc000007b
Searching for a solution… I found this forum thread.
- I edited path to app location on my PC:
- E:\Apps\LibreOfficePortable\App\libreoffice\program\swriter.exe
- This solution worked immediately to open LOff.
Thank you.
After 10 min of use… 7.2 does not have the opening problems.
