Hi :) Ahh, the magic of updates! I'm glad it got resolved!
I haven't read what got tried but it seemed like you did all the right things worth trying. Often problems are due to settings in the "User Profile" or more likely Extensions in there. Renaming the "User Profile" often fixes a wide variety of "strange things that 'shouldn't' happen". Very early on just after LibreOffice forked from OpenOffice.org i found that sometimes i needed to create a new document and then copy the contents of the old one with as little formatting as possible, and then reapply the formatting. At the time i was only just beginning to become aware of the advantages of styles rather than direct formatting, and i was having to do much the same thing with old MS documents too anyway. It's been quite a few years since i last had to do that but i keep it in mind if i ever run into problems with a one-off document. With very large or heavy documents i often find it's one or 2 of the graphics (usually a photo) that are ridiculously large. Getting the image out of the document and then using an image editor such as Gimp to resize the image down to about double the size i really need in the document usually makes it drastically lighter and the whole document much lighter without any noticeable difference on-screen or in print. Anyway, it seems like you have probably done or thought about all of this already.
