Cannot Open Microsoft Products

Had been using MS 365 Software for awhile now. Suddenly, without warning, I am unable to open any - Word, Excel, etc.

Tried the Online Repair option suggested, but that encountered a problem while installing the repair as well.

Please advise.

Microsoft 365 and Office | Excel | For home | Windows

    The error msg is?

    Restart the PC, once fully loaded, repair Office,> Apps & Features>Select Office your version>Modify /Repair, once the repair completes re-test (Quick repair)

    O365 when installed under a Win user admin account, and run from that admin account, auto logs in when the PC is started. There is no separate login for any component.

    Win search for Word > Resulting shortcut > Rt click > Pin to task bar > start Word from that shortcut (hover mouse over the shortcut gives access to the 10 most recent docs)

    Same for other core components.

    Start eg Word open an old doc via recents/search

    Rarely any need to access OneDrive itself.
