Question

After viewing a virtual assistant course lesson I cannot open my Word 2024 application in my pc. Can you give me a reason why and how can I open it again?

Hello

Watching a restricted video would not normally damage Word, so the timing may be coincidental. However, if you downloaded or installed anything from the course website, first run a Full scan from Windows Security > Virus & threat protection > Scan options.

Next, press Windows + R, type winword /safe, and press Enter. If Word opens, disable recently installed add-ins under File > Options > Add-ins. See: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/lifecycle/open-office-apps-in-safe-mode-on-a-windows-pc

If Word still does not open, go to Settings > Apps > Installed apps > Microsoft Office 2024 > Modify, run Quick Repair, and then Online Repair if needed. See: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/lifecycle/repair-an-office-application

If the problem remains, please provide the exact error message or a screenshot and confirm whether Word opens in Safe Mode. :::
