Logitech Options / Issues on Installation & Application Profile Setup / Backend Connection Problem / MX Master Mouse 3 / 06.04.2023

Logitech has recently released a new version of Logitech options called Logitech Options+ – This is still in BETA. It is surprising that they have already pushed this out to users as the latest update while there are issues with the software.
After installing Logitech Options+, you may receive this error:

There currently appears to be no resolution for this. However, there is a workaround. This involves in downloading the previous application ‘Logitech Options’ rather than ‘Logitech Options+’

Go to: Logitech Options – Logitech Support + Download

Select ‘Show all downloads.’

Scroll down and download ‘Software Version: 8.54.161’:

When installing this software, it will ask you install profiles for the applications installed on your device. It will attempt to do office. But it will fail.
I believe it tries to do an older version of office as the icons for the applications are from an older version.
Go to: C:\ProgramData\Logishrd\LogiOptions\Software\Current\Plugins
Delete everything in that folder.
Restart Logitech Options.
You can then ‘Add Applications’ on the top right.
You will need to find the .exe of the program you want to add and select it.
For office, you can find this in:
• C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
