win10 update wiping out files

[Girvin Herr]

Oops, I deleted the thread where I mentioned the latest win10 update 
wiping out files. So I am starting a new thread. I was searching for an 
unrelated subject and ran into this:

HTH.

Re: Bug in Open Office Version 4.1.5 in Windows 10 platform.

[Girvin Herr]

Greetings,

I am not a windows user, but I did read that Microsoft has a problem 
with the latest update on win10. It makes files disappear! The 
recommendation is to not install the latest update until they fix it. 
Note that lately there have been a lot of complaints about OpenOffice 
files going missing on this and the LibreOffice forums. This could be 
related.

Dear Sirs,

I am an user of Open Office for Windows since its inception.

At present I am using Version 4.1.5 installed in Windows 10. I was facing 
problems with auto spell check in documents saved in .doc format in Open 
Office. It was highlighting the entire document as spelling errors.

Recently I have changed my Computer and installed the same with Windows 10 and 
thereafter installed Open Office 4.1.5 therein. Initially, it was all OK.

With completion of updation of the Windows 10 the same error again started even 
with earlier saved .doc files whereas the same is not showing such errors while 
opening the same with Office 365 (Word).

Request please look into the matter and arrange fixing of the same.

Thanks & regards,

Have you tried to save the file in OO format? I wouldn't put it past
Microsoft to put a bug in W-10 that could be causing the issue.

Bug in Open Office Version 4.1.5 in Windows 10 platform.

[Satyabrata Datta]

Dear Sirs,

I am an user of Open Office for Windows since its inception.

At present I am using Version 4.1.5 installed in Windows 10. I was facing 
problems with auto spell check in documents saved in .doc format in Open 
Office. It was highlighting the entire document as spelling errors.

Recently I have changed my Computer and installed the same with Windows 10 and 
thereafter installed Open Office 4.1.5 therein. Initially, it was all OK.

With completion of updation of the Windows 10 the same error again started even 
with earlier saved .doc files whereas the same is not showing such errors while 
opening the same with Office 365 (Word).

Request please look into the matter and arrange fixing of the same.

Thanks & regards,

Well, maybe the problem is about file format you are using. Are you using ods 
or maybe xls or xlsx?
If you are using xls or xlsx, I'd suggest you to save it as ODF Spreadsheet 
(*.ods)
If you are already using ODS format then I'd suggest you to select only the 
cells with content and paste them into a new spreadsheet. Save that new 
spreadsheet with a different file name and test if it opens faster.
If I can't take a look at your spreasheet there's nothing more I can say.
Good luck!

Hi,

I have Openoffice and have loved it for several years now.  But just 
recently when I went to open up my saved document spreadsheet it takes 
about 5 minutes to open up my saved copies.  They are just stand 
spreadsheets with a description line, cost, sold, fees and ending 
total.  The entire file so far this year is 2.0 MB.


OpenOffice saves the documents as zipped files, when you open the 
spreadsheet OpenOffice will unzip the file which will take some time.
But this will not take 5 minutes, so I assume there could be something 
else that slowdown the process. It could be the complexity of the
calculations it need to perform. If you link to an other spreadsheet it 
will update (refresh) the links in your working document.

There are a few test you can do to see where the bottleneck could be.
1. Under Tools -> Cells uncheck the AutoCalculate option and see if that 
speedup the saving process.
2. Under Edit -> Links you can disable the Auto Update function (only if 
you have linked documents)




Once it does open up and type any more information to it and then 
click Save..it takes that same length of time to save the 
information.


On the community forum they want me to upload the file but I don't 
want to share all of that information.  Any ideas of what else could 
be wrong that I could check on my end?


Thanks for your time,
Cindy
