Hello everyone!

I have problems with my office,

When I try to open a Word file, I get this error "Word could not create the work file. Check the temp environment variable". Please see screenshot #1.

When I try to copy and paste an image into the ppt I get the following error "An error occurred while importing this file...". Please see screenshot #2

When I try to save or open an excel file, sometimes I get this error "Microsoft Excel cannot open or save any more doc because there is not enough memory or disk space" Please see screenshot #3

I have enough space available, screenshot #4.

I have reinstalled Windows 11, but the issue wasn't solved with the reinstallation.

Does anyone know why this is happening? Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks, and regards!

G.

    Hi Tim! I really appreciate your help, thanks!

    I did the first step "Scan for malware and disk errors" and I rebooted my laptop. Unfortunately, Word keeps the issue.

    I'm going to try the next option "Add an Environment Variable"

    I'll let you know if it works.

    Thanks, and regards!
