It’s a LO Bug

I’ve found a workaround here:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67534

Disabling windows shell extensions the problem disappear.

You might want to check fdo#68487 and make sure that the Explorer Shell Extension is not the cause.

I solved it by installing the version 3.6.5.
Should not be the bug 68487, the CPU did not reach high levels of load.

The comments at the end (#51-54) of bug fdo#67534 were what led me to fdo#68487. It sounded like a possible cause (and solution) for some people.
