Office 365 sometimes unable to start
Out of nowhere in last few days I boot up and try to launch an office program such as word or excel and get met after several seconds of nothing with a dialogue box of blah, blah, excel, or winword is unable to start and some innocuous code. Press ok to close. And it just won't open no matter how many times I try unless I restart machine. Anybody else see this? I wonder if the latest public build is buggy but it only happened at weekend for first time. Fine for several boots after and then happens again tonight. I looged out and in but no different so had to restart machine where upon it is fine again. Any ideas? I wonder if it's something to do with that new home/splash page MS seems to be pushing on 365 users causing aggro. I checked reliability history and no errors in here to do with office but it does seem to coincide with a COM surrogate has stopped working message
My gut feeling is it's a bug playing up and next slew of office updates will fix it (maybe something in v1809 which I am on not playing nice) but a slight concern nonetheless
