Windows 10 bugs

Kari said:

Just tested on a laptop, a desktop and two virtual machines, all running build 9926. Absolutely no problems in reinstalling any of the preview apps. I can install - uninstall - reinstall them as I wish with none whatsoever issues.

Yes, Kari, I understand you're having no problems like mine. I don't doubt it one bit.

I believe your experience is valid; by the same token, that doesn't make my, George's and Edwin's experience any less valid. Especially when what we're reporting has also been confirmed by feedback to Windows 10.

I guess we'll just have to leave it at that for the moment.

It's not all about you Wynona. Anyway, I apologize for disturbing you with my answer to David (I admit, I forgot to quote him), for this post of his:

I have now edited my post to include the quote to better show which post I replied to. Once more, I am very sorry I corrected some invalid information presented, I should have known it offends you.

No, it looks to me that I offended you.

I just tried to uninstall and reinstall Word, but got the same old same old. IIRC, someone said they got the problem with Office and a reinstall of 9926 solved it. I may wind up trying that too, but for now, I'm thinking it's a bit of overkill to solve something like this.

Yeah. well, I should have stayed out of the posted comments. I was drawn in, mainly to support your own experience, which I had also. A reinstall of the OS solved the problem for me.
I don't even use Word. I use the latest Apache (Open Office) which does everything with less fuss and constant updates.

But, one last query, of academioc interest only, and I am out of this, do you get this mysterious message at the end of (attempting) to re install:
Attachment 13801

Anyone else running an MS account have this?

Yes, I do get that message, Dave. Except mine says 2/27/15.

I got the old HP dv9700 out and reinstalled Windows. I haven't tried to install the Preview apps on it yet, but will today.

Thanks for jogging my memory about your experience. Unhappily, that makes three of us with this plus what I found on the Feedback site. Sigh . . . this doesn't look very good to me as far as a solution goes.

Although I can't tell who has reported the "Word (Excel, PowerPoint) won't open issue in feedback, I would hope everyone who gets it would at least give a "me too" so it gets booted to the tope with the rest of the important issues.

BTW, I like Kingsoft's WPS Office, which I've been known to call a "ripoff" of Microsoft Office. :) And, of course, I have a subscription to Office 365, so I don't need this particular preview. But it's part of Windows 10 and deserves to be the best it can be.

Not I! I haven't been brave enough to get into that. I will try, though.

Fair enough!
As far as the Word/Store... issue is concerned, I'm going to wait for a new Build. If the issue persists, I'll tackle it from there.

I think you're right, Edwin. I'm not sure, but it seems that something is interfering with my Office 365 subscription installing properly on the dv9700, and I'm thinking I'll leave the status quo on both Win 10 lappies until we get a new build.
