Bug ID: 161328
Summary: LibreOffice freezing up when trying to save
spreadsheet files
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.2.3.2 release
Hardware: x86 (IA32)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
Since I started using LO about a year ago I've been having a really horrible
problem with it freezing up when trying to save spreadsheet files. The rest of
Windows would be fine, but when trying to save LO would be stuck with the green
progress bar, then grey out and finally show 'not responding' in the title bar.
RAM and CPU would be constantly on highest usage until eventually I would have
to kill the program. Seems I am not the only one...

Today I found what seems to be the solution. Simply save as .ods instead of
.xlsx. Problem (apparently) solved. Hope this helps someone.
ETA: I am on Windows Windows 11 Home Version 22H2.
Device name DESKTOP-SV3I9FS
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHz
Installed RAM 16.0 GB
I don't think that CPU is actually deemed suitable to run Windows 11 and think
the person who sold me the PC may have done some kind of workaround.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Makes changes to file
2. Try to save file
Actual Results:
stuck with the green progress bar, then grey out and finally show 'not
responding' in the title bar. RAM and CPU would be constantly on highest usage
until eventually I would have to kill the program.
Expected Results:
The file should be saved
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
I don't think that CPU is actually deemed suitable to run Windows 11 and think
the person who sold me the PC may have done some kind of workaround.
