Rod Christ,
I think that's a smart move for now. MS hasn't cooked up their best upgrade
yet this time.

Thanks, but I had Best Buy uninstall it.
The link provides overly complicated instructions. Ctrl+Alt+Del,
choose process and 'end task'. Seems more straightforward.
I wonder how much gooing to Best Buy cost in gas, technician's
charges? Not to mention time.
Not a big fan of Windows 11 but this kind of foul-up happens sometimes
with OpenOffice, quite rare though, in my experience. (I don't use
Quickstarter which may, I think, sometimes cause OO to get stuck.)

Dear Rod Christ,
I don't have Windows 11, but here is "How To Know Which Process Is Using
a
File in Windows 11?" It uses Resource Manager natively, or something
which
you can download called 'Handle'. With either one, you can kill the
processes you want to kill.

I believe you didn't understand the instructions.
Go to the Start Menu in Windows - tell us if you don't know what this
is. And note it's part of Windows, not of OpenOffice.
Note there's probably a simpler way to do the following but I'm not
mainly a Windows user and this should work (first read through these
instructions before executing any of them):
(0) to shut down OpenOffice, enter 'ctl + alt + delete' keys at once,
choose 'task manage'; find OpenOffice; right-click; choose 'end task';
you can close 'task manager' if you want.
(I don't know if Dick Groskamp has a better way?)
then:
(1) type 'cmd' (no quotes)
(2) click 'run as an administrator'
(3) write or copy the command Dick Groskamp gave you, making sure to
enter your actual username.
(4) then restart OpenOffice.
report back with questions, results, etc.

Try to renew your userprofile.
Close OpenOffice and the Quickstarter (if enabled)
Go to C:\Users\[your username]\AppData\Roaming\OpenOffice\4
There is a folder called user. Rename that folder to something else,
for
instance "user_old"
Go back and restart OpenOffice. It will make a new folder user.
This method often solves strange problems :-)

I recently upgraded to a new Lenovo laptop with Windows 11. I also

The

things
worked.
Today, it required "defragging" all prior documents again, but

Likewise,
the
