Word and Word documents won't open properly
Windows 10 Version 1903(OS build 18362.900
Hello everyone - my first time here :)
I have Microsoft Office365 legitimately shared with me (via a link) from my son-in-law who has a subscription. I've had it on my PC for about 7 weeks and only been using Word which has been working fine.
However, about 3 days ago I couldn't open any of my documents or Word itself - at least, not properly. For example, what happens is when I click on a document or the Word program itself, the normal icon pops up in the taskbar, and hovering the cursor over that, the usual small window pops up just above the icon - that's all. Clicking on it will not open it.
I've tried various things but nothing works. I've run the 'repair' from the uninstall or change feature via Control Panel using both Quick Repair and Online Repair several times - also uninstalled Office and reinstalled 3 or 4 times. Many restarts and I've run virus and malware scans - nothing found.
The other programs in Office all open OK - though I'm not currently using any of them. It's just Word that won't open. I should point out that I can open a Word document in Libre, thankfully I still have that.
I don't know what else to do, so I'm hoping someone might come up with the answer. Any help will be gratefully received. Thank you :)
