Hi, needing your help please. I've suddenly got and Error Messages. The first pop-up says "We're sorry but this feature appears to be broken and needs to be repaired. Use the Programs and Features option in the Windows Control Panel to repair Microsoft Office." Once I press "Ok", another message comes up saying "Sorry, something went wrong and Word was unable to start. (36).
I am using Windows 11 Enterprise and Microsoft 365.
Thank you.
