--- Comment #1 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
Sorry if you've lost any work or data, that should not happen. 

However, to be able to do anything with this issue we would have needed verbose
logging of the installation to determine the steps that might be forcing the
reboot.

Unlikely, and a "Catch-22", as you've already done the installation, and the
system components (usually stale the MSVC++ runtimes) needing update have now
already been installed. No real way for the average user to reproduce the
issue.

Otherwise, the general guidance for safely performing software
installations/upgrades remains valid advise--close out of all programs before
attempting an upgrade.

LibreOffice does not provide automatic updates--it will alert to availability
of new builds. But the installation is in the users hands.
