I basically never want to use the feature. How to? There’s another question here that answers how to disable it in Linux via a command-line option in .bashrc, but I don’t think that can be done in Windows?
Edit: Additional information:
-
I am on Windows 10
-
No Recovery.xcu anywhere on my C drive.
-
even if I discard recovery data, then the next time I open the same file there is no recovery prompt. But when I shutdown Windows without shutting down LibreOffice first, then I get the prompt the next time I open the file.
Can I prevent LibreOffice from prompting for document recovery?
To disable when launching a LibreOffice program
Start LibreOffice with the
--norestorecommand line option:Right click on the “LibreOffice” Writer start menu entry.
Click “Properties”.
Add
--norestoreto the end of the “Target” entry.Click “OK”.
Repeat steps 1-4 for each of the programs in the LibreOffice suite.
To disable when opening a file
Uncheck the “Save AutoRecovery information every:” option:
Start “LibreOffice”.
Menu “Tools” > “Options”.
Expand “Load/Save”.
Select “General”.
Uncheck “Save AutoRecovery information every:”.
Click OK.
Close “LibreOffice”.
Now you can open files.
