I'm not sure that there is an archieve for previous answers to questions but I
seem to remember there was a fix for Open Office when using Windows 11.
I'll look to see if I saved that post.
Here's what I found in my saved emails.
Thank you David for reporting your issues with Open Office working under
Windows 11 and how it was resolved. I enjoy Open Office and will not be
upgrading to Windows 11.

coming back with excuses. ~~ Napoleon Hill

Not Responding
Hello,
Microsoft Support responded last night after I had gone to bed. Support
gave me a Powershell command to reverse the Windows 11 update. I had to
execute the Powershell command 3 times and restart each time but it did
work.

Maybe you should uninstall Open Office and try Libre Office.
