Word & PP won't work simultaneously.

I recently updated to W11. Power Point & Word work perfectly, but when I try to open one the other closes. I checked if it's because there is no space on the task bar, but that's not the case. How can I fix this? I have assignments I need to work on and having both open at the same time would really help.

Also, this is my first time on the site so I don't know how the tags work, my apologies if I tagged the wrong thing.

    Try repairing your Office installation.
