"windows cannot find 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Mircosoft Office\root\Office16\WINWORD.EXE'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. " I have seen threads with this as a problem, but NO SOLUTION. I have rebooted, repaired (both options), reinstalled, updated, rebooted each time after. STILL nothing has allowed the app to open. Other EXE files open, but NOTHING from OFFICE.
The chains usually have some admin bemoning that the question was answered when the person gets back stating IT WAS not answered then it is locked. So Please re-read the question and rething what other options there are. It does not appear to be a EXE is associated or disassociated to its function, as other EXE files open.

Have you looked in Windows Explorer to confirm that your Word application is in the specified location? The path does appear to be correct for Office 2021.

I am troubleshooting a similar issue.
Done the Repair, both online/quick.
Uninstalled and reinstalled.
Rebooted, reinstalled, ran repair again, rebooted again..... Even windows update and repeated all the above again.The 'winword.exe' file will not open. Not having any issues with any other executable file, other then ANY of the office apps...
This is Office 2019 Professional Plus.
It will not open or run.
Unfortunately, since Professional Plus is a volume license version, you may have been scammed, if you purchased it as a consumer (home user).
The same error when i click on it.
It shows as seem but will not open
