    Which version of Office (Word) are you running? The full, desktop version for Windows?

    Or are you running the online version in your web browser?

    Run an Online Repair of Office, as the built‑in “Repair now” inside Word often does not resolve this error.

    Follow these steps (from Windows, with all Office apps closed):

    1. Exit all Office applications.
    2. Open Windows Settings and go to Apps (or Apps & features / Installed apps, depending on Windows version).
    3. Find the installed Office/Microsoft 365 product in the list.
    4. Select it and choose Modify.
    5. Choose Online Repair (the more thorough option) and start the repair.
    6. When the repair completes, restart the computer and try launching Word again.

    If Word still will not open after an Online Repair, the issue may be related to a damaged registry or configuration, and direct support assistance is typically required.
