Otherwise go to the Allowed Apps setting and allow soffice.bin, this might not be easy so you might have to add the different LibreOffice executables (Calc, Writer, etc.) to the Allowed list click View All files (not just exe) to see it and add it. Have a look at the blocked apps list, if you see soffice.bin in there change it to Allowed (you might have to read AV help if not obvious). If you do have a third party anti-virus go into settings and then look for something like anti-ransomware or folder protection. Switch the Controlled folder access setting from On to Off. Under Controlled folder access, select Manage Controlled folder access. Under Virus & threat protection settings, select Manage settings. Select Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Security > Virus & threat protection. Turn Off Defender Controlled Folder access The below numbered list is from Use the Windows Defender Security app to allow specific apps


If it does then you need to archive your old profile and reset.Īllow LibreOffice access to Defender controlled folder If still not working see if it it opens in Safe Mode, i.e. Make sure that LibreOffice has full disk access in System Preferences > Security & Privacy
