And I've got some letters I legally have to write.

So it's back to MS Word.

Because normally the update progress is flawless. I'm working with 26.2.2 for months without problems. There are a lot of possible reasons for your problem. Perhaps the nice people in the user list can help.

Next time it prompts me to "up"grade I may be disinclined to follow its advice.

I would suggest to install the stable version 25.8.6
This might help

The installer is LibreOffice_26.2.2_Win_x86-64.msi.

Windows 11 Pro 26200.8246.

The problem is that the application doesn't start, either from its own shortcut or from a file association shortcut. Or, sometimes, it doesn't immediately appear to start but some minutes later a non-responsive window appears.

I haven't created a new bug report because a web search shows numerous people reporting (apparently) the same thing, across multiple web sites, back to (at least) February.

Which version and OS? Do you know of a bug report that describes the problem, or have you reported one?
