Are you trying to run the update from the program windows, or are
you downloading the new version and installing it directly.
Just update my mom's Windows 7 machine with no real problem.
Downloaded
361730048 Feb 20 23:04 LibreOffice_7.6.5.2_Win_x86-64.msi
2736128 Feb 20 23:04
LibreOffice_7.6.5.2_Win_x86-64_helppack_en-US.msi
The helppack installed with no issue replace.
Did have a message about not being able to remove desktop
short-cut, but it eventually did.
Her other machine is a new mini PC with N100 CPU with windows
11 that I got for about $200, and it has latest suite on installed.
I've had issues the the updates either just saying it already has
latest version, when ther was a newer one?
With Linux, I've never had any issues with updates..
Might try ccleaner to uninstall it if that does work under tools
option. Good Luck.
