Still no joy.

Got as far as #2 in your reply. Found reference to Ransomwear but could get no further. No sign of my AVG Security to see if that was stopping access to LibreOffice. Closed my PC, then restarted it in hope of LibreOffice reappearing but it’s still missing (apart from the desktop icon. More advice appreciated?

This site is not a forum. There is nothing like a conversation. Therefore your question is orphaned.

I assume this is related to your 313095/updating-problem, but there is no #2 there (nor #1).

If you expect any help, you’d better comment in above question and delete this one.
