  • Computer is clean. Anti-virus is regularly updated
  • Clean boot done
  • No other issue
  • Repair office (quick repair and online repair (messages comes out when I select that option)

I already had this problem when I updated windows in past and I had to reinstall my PC.

    Sometimes, it is not enough and you need to perform a complete uninstall of the suite, then reinstall it.
