--- Comment #7 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> ---
The DWM explorer.exe crash with PropVariantClearWorker is not necessarily
caused by the LibreOffice components--though you can use the NirSoft utility to
tease out which of the LibreOffice components is sensitive to your system
configuration.

It could be a driver issue (though you look to be on correct recent enough WDDM
3.2 driver for the GPU).

There were recent changes dropping aspects of the win32 GDI rendering from the
LibreOffice skia based graphics. And those could be an issue.

Since it is a core DWM issue, I'd certainly start with a 

sfc /scannow

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth


Then check running LibreOffice with each of the modules disabled and enabled in
sequence using the NirSoft ShellExView to isolate if impact on DWM is a
specific LO module.

There is also a configuration running appwiz.cpl as admin, for the LibreOffice
installer wizard to disable the 'Windows Explorer Extension'.  Select the
Modify -> Optional Components and mark it "The feature will not be available".
Then Next and Install to complete the modification. This should remove those
LibreOffice components that interface with the DWM explorer.exe and eliminate
them as potential cause of your DWM crashes.

But, we'd really prefer to know if there is something specific causing an issue
for folks, I can't reproduce, but doesn't mean it is not valid.

Thanks!
