Are you trying to run the update from the program windows, or are 
you downloading the new version and installing it directly.

Just update my mom's Windows 7 machine with no real problem.
Downloaded 
 361730048      Feb 20 23:04 LibreOffice_7.6.5.2_Win_x86-64.msi
   2736128      Feb 20 23:04 
LibreOffice_7.6.5.2_Win_x86-64_helppack_en-US.msi

The helppack installed with no issue replace.
Did have a message about not being able to remove desktop 
short-cut, but it eventually did.

Her other machine is a new mini PC with N100 CPU with windows 
11 that I got for about $200, and it has latest suite on installed. 

I've had issues the the updates either just saying it already has 
latest version, when ther was a newer one? 

With Linux, I've never had any issues with updates..

Might try ccleaner to uninstall it if that does work under tools 
option.  Good Luck.
