Windows Explorer Has Stopped Working

Hi,

My first post to the list, and apologies if it has been mentioned before.

I am running Windows 7 (all updates applied) and Windows 10 (Build 10166) on two different machines. Both 64 bit versions. I am also running Libre Office 5.

Has anyone else noticed that, in File Explorer, if you hover the mouse over a Libre Office document (doesn't matter whether Writer or Calc document) that Windows Explorer will stop working.

This does not happen on Microsoft Office documents.

If anyone has noticed this, and has an answer, please let me know what to do.

That is a known error in RC1 and RC2. It is fixed in the current version. Please deinstall you LibreOffice 5 and get the current version RC 3. http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/

I have tested the RC 3 on Windows 7, 32 Bit, and for me it works.

Kind regards
