I ran the following piece of code using aspose-words-22.2.0:

public class Test {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        com.aspose.words.Document doc = new com.aspose.words.Document("D:\test.docx");			
        doc.updateFields();
    }
}

Could you please help us to understand what happens?

Thanks and regards,
Brice
