Windows 10: LibreOffice keeps going "unresponsive"

I like to keep 5 or 6 spreadsheets open all the time. Currently on LibreOffice 6.1.1.2 (x64) Since about 3 months and 2 updates ago, it keeps going unresponsive and I have to shut it down, several times a week. I do use hibernate on Windows 10 but not sure if that is causing the problem. The laptop is only otherwise used for browsing.

The spreadsheets are not big and nothing special. A few basic formulae and one spreadsheet has a basic chart. The only other problem I also only recently noticed is that one formula has a delayed update, so I have to change a cell value, a second time, for the formula to be up-to-date, otherwise it reflects the previous value.

I'm thinking of trying an alternative to LibreOffice but would be shame if there is a simple solution to going unresponsive. Any suggestions? (or confrmation if it is a known issue)


EDIT to add: It is after a period of having LibreOffice minimized and I try to "restore" the window, that it goes not responding.

LibreOffice 4.2.0 Beta 2


LibreOffice is now up to version 4.4.4.3. Works great for me in Windows 10 Pro x64.
They seem to come out with an updated version quarterly.

For me, who is semi-retired, it's a perfect program suite for home use. I don't need the horsepower of the MS Office suite. LibreOffice is able to read and write MS Office format files. Best of all, it's free.

Here is a tweak (found on a blog site) to speed up LibreOffice, especially if you work with large document or spreadsheet files. This will remove any lag the program seems to have when accessing and editing those large files.

-----

This is a tweak for LibreOffice memory settings.

To access this memory option, from the LibreOffice Menu Bar, Click TOOLS-> OPTIONS-> MEMORY.

Change the default settings in the drop down boxes to those listed below.

Also check the box to allow LibreOffice to load when Windows starts.

==========

Undo
-Number of Steps - 100

Graphics cache
-Use for LibreOffice - 200 MB
-Memory per object - 10.0 MB
-Remove from Memory after - 00:10 hh:mm

Cache for inserted objects
-Number of objects - 50

LibreOffice Quickstarter
(X) Enable systray Quickstarter

==========

Click OK, exit LibreOffice and re-start your computer.

LibreOffice is now optimized to handle larger files. Any lag it had before now goes away.

Yeah just caught it there.

I'm going to attempt to have a step by step guide on how to use these programs efficiently.

Hi Leon. I'm Greg, an installation specialist and 9 year Windows MVP, here to help you.

You're suspicion looks to be correct:
https://www.neowin.net/news/libreoffice-comes-t...

I would use the regular free Libre Office program which is popular and compatible with Office:

Another equally popular and capable free version is Open Office:

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.
