Why is my Libre Office Writer always crashing and why do odt files not open normally?

English
#1

Using ver 25.2.1.2 with W11

Ive been having problems using writer lately

Whenever I’m editing a manuscript office writer is always crashing shutting down automatically

Also when ever I click on an.odt file created in writer, a libre office document recovery window pops
up prompting me to recover the document…Why dont the files open normally when clicking to the file to open it?
I checked task manager an there were no memory hogs
I also ran Windows Memtest and there were no problems with my RAM modules.

Any suggestions on resolving these frustrating problems greatly appreciates

I would try this first, click Tools > Options > LibreOffice > View and then tick the box Force Skia software rendering. OK and allow LibreOffice to restart.

That fixes the issue for most computers. Some people with AMD CPUs have turned off Hardware acceleration but I don’t know if they tried the above first.

If you still have problems go through the other steps in First steps to take before submitting a bug - The Document Foundation Wiki

That is an indication that LibreOffice crashed instead of shutting normally last time the document was open. The fix(es) above should resolve the issue but recovering the document is still a good idea until you have recovered all the crashed documents.
