Office in Safe Mode (Office 2009)

Hello,
For some reasons I need to run my windows 10 in safe mode for some time. In safe mode I need to use some office files but my ms office wont run in safe mode.
It starts and automatically closes with the error msg.
"Microsoft cannot verify the license for this product"
This msg never seen in normal mode windows .

Whats the way to make office run in safe mode?

I have Office 2000, 2007, 2010 and 2013 on different computers, never saw a version 2009. I also have the software for Office XP/2002, 2003 and 2019. Maybe there's an authenticity issue?

Not everything can run in Safe mode.
My MSOffice 2021 does not run in Safe mode.
Not even all Windows power states operate in Safe mode.

I think you'll have more chances of success if you ask [in a new thread] for help solving whatever it is that makes you want to boot into Safe mode.
Please do post a link to your new thread here so we can follow it.


Best of luck,
Denis

It's really worth making time to browse through the Tutorial index - there's a shortcut to it at the top of every page.

- At the foot of the Tutorial index is a shortcut to download it as a spreadsheet.
- I download a new copy each month.
- By downloading it as a spreadsheet I can benefit from Excel's excellent filtering capabilities when I search for topics of interest.

- Tutorials are also listed by category at Tutorials - there's also a shortcut to that at the top of every page.
- Both tutorial lists are searchable.
- You can also search for TenForumsTutorials in many general search engines, such as Google, by adding site:tenforums.com/tutorials after your search term. For example,
taskbar toolbars site:tenforums.com/tutorials

You can search TenForums using the search box in the top-right corner of all TenForums webpages or using Advanced Search - TenForums
- You can also search TenForums threads in many general search engines, such as Google, by adding site:tenforums.com after your search term. For example,
Search for drivers by HardwareID site:tenforums.com
- [This is what the search box in the top-right corner of TenForums webpages does automatically]

Maybe you meant Office 2019?

EDIT: Forget that. As pointed out below it's not Windows Safe Mode

Sorry, that's about Office safe mode not the Windows Safe mode the OP is running in.

Windows Safe Mode does not load many drivers for devices and some programs won't work when they don't find the devices they need such as the printer. Windows Safe Mode is mostly a diagnostic for when things don't work right.

Why do you need to run Office in safe mode?

I think you may be asking the wrong question.

Sorry for the wrong info..I have corrected the title.
The office I have is 2010.

I can confirm that is normal behaviour with Office 2010 and Windows running in Safe Mode. I see the same....



It's possible that it may work if you can run in Safe Mode with Networking, but I can't test that as I can't get my networking to work in Safe Mode.

My Windows 10 is running in some trouble like few different BSOD s and random crashes. The diagnosis and repair will take some time I feel. That I will attempt as get significant free time. Till then I need some very import document creations and editing to be done (docx or excel).

Rather than struggling to get Office 2010 to work in Safe Mode, why not use something else that does? LibreOffice will run in Safe Mode. As it will only be a temporary substitute, you should use the Portable Apps version that does not require an install. You could even run it from a USB stick, you wouldn't even need to put it on the PC that way.

Portable versions | LibreOffice - Free Office Suite - Based on OpenOffice - Compatible with Microsoft
