#1

Hi, I'm on windows 10 and windows crash when I click on libreoffice files,
the crash is related to a corrupted lock file that I found in c:\..something
in user folder..\roaming\libreoffice\4 and deleted it, it worked but it
happened again with another file, is there an ultimate solution to this
bug??

manythanks, ciao, Pier

Which file did you delete ?

(complete name, and not '... something in user folder...' ) you can replace 'Pier' with '<username>' ) . :wink:

This link tells you what to do if you have a corrupt user-profile:

LibreOffice user profile - The Document Foundation Wiki
<https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile#Resolving_corruption>

( https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile#Resolving_corruption )

Please try to get a new user-profile, and see if you can reproduce the problem....

Hi Luuk,

Which file did you delete ?

I deleted a file named ".Lock" or very similar in this folder:
C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\libreoffice\4

instruction you gived in:

LibreOffice user profile - The Document Foundation Wiki
<https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile#Resolving_corruption>

doesn't include the deletion of profile or lock file, that was useful for me
becouse the libreoffice crash produced a blue screen windows10 crash and the
consequent restart of laptop and wasn't impossible to start libreoffice in
safe mode, its very boring that for a libreoffice error windows crash.
I don't know but it seems that the profile make an autoreset becouse some
options I set before now result different as I well remember to have set
(for example the not move selection after return in calc) )Now the problem
seems soved
