I installed Office Premium, but no apps appear. How do I fix this?
Processes in Microsoft 365 for setting up Office apps, redeeming product keys, and activating licenses.

That’s great to hear! You did exactly the right fix, the Online Repair forces Windows to re-download and correctly register all Office desktop apps, which resolves the “installed but no apps appear” issue in most cases.

Thanks, Kimberly. What I did was to go to the window where all the programs are listed and asked that Microsoft Office be fixed. I chose the one where an online connection is needed. After that, everything was okay.
Fixed. I don't need an answer. Thanks for reading this.
Thanks for sharing the details! Office Premium isn’t a standalone installer, you must install via your Microsoft account.
This installs the desktop apps, not the web-only versions.
Best regards,
Kimberly

That didn't work for me. Odd thing is, Microsoft 365 does show up on the list of installed apps but when I checked Program Files, Microsoft Office and Microsoft Office 15 - only a handful of files. Even checked (x86) despite installing the 64bit version. I've run the Office uninstall tool from MS. I've installed from inside my login as well as from office.exe download. I'm running Win 11 and it's my first time dealing with this awful OS but I was forced into it. I'm beyond frustrated. As a former MS certified tech (a lifetime ago), this isn't my first rodeo but I'm at a loss.
