Thanks pepanee. I have never done anything that complicated like uninstalling then re-installing Word or Office. Not having that experience makes me fearful that I would screw something up and/or...

Sorry Spark and Pepanee. The problem must have clouded my mind. Any more suggestions for a solution?

Pepanee. I did what you recommended. The "allow opening a document in draft view" box was unchecked. Where to go from here?

I went to Programs and Features then went through the repair process but I still have the same problem. That is, when I finish revising a file (making a change to the file) I sometimes but not all...

Sometimes I can’t revise Windows 10 .docx files unless I change the file name or revision. I find this very annoying. Please help me resolve this problem. Thanks.:confused:

4 weeks of pneumonia has prevented me from finally replying. I like the Clean Boot idea and will use it the next time my periodic problem occurs. It sounds like a good, logical way of going....

for fear that some unintended disaster will occur.
Thanks bro67. I was hoping someone would come up with a less drastic solution. Maybe its just me but I hesitate to wipe everything then re-install...

Was not able to reply sooner because my periodic problem decided not to appear for a while. I tried your suggestion of holding down the power button 4-5 seconds and it worked. Problem is that this...

Because about half the time when I try to start my PC with Windows 10 it just sits there after I enter my password and click on Enter it shows a ring of dots whirling endlessly and will not progress...

I just happened to fix the problem myself a few days before you posted so I don't know if your solution would help me. I can't tell you how I did it because My Stuff suddenly appeared as I tried many...

Thanks for trying. There must be an answer out there somewhere but it certainly is elusive not to mention frustrating at not finding it.

I tried Start/ControlPanel/System but all it said was Windows 10 Home but no additional information.

I typed a word into Search a number of times but My Stuff did not appear like it did in #12. It seems different things appear depending on which version of Windows 10 a person has. I am still looking...

The mystery deepens. Until Caperjack stated he had the same problem with My Stuff I thought I was losing my mind again. It puzzles me that so many others didn't seem to have encountered the same...

OEM? Yes. It is an ACER I bought at Best Buy a few years ago. I have had Windows 10 about a year. After I acquired Windows 10 when I searched for something in the lower left hand corner Search box I...

I thought the answer to this problem would be easy to find but all I have found is many, many dead ends. The extremely useful “My Stuff” blurb has mysteriously disappeared from its customary position...
