    Which error messages, if any, are shown? An Online Repair may be a good start, but it will depend on the error message(s). See https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/lifecycle/repair-an-office-application .

    Hi,

    If Microsoft Word cannot be opened, please try the following steps:

    1/ Start Word in Safe Mode

    • Press Windows + R.
    • Type winword /safe and press Enter.
    • If Word opens in Safe Mode, the issue may be caused by an add-in. You can disable add-ins by going to File > Options > Add-ins > COM Add-ins > Go, then uncheck the add-ins and restart Word.

    2/ Repair Microsoft 365

    • Go to Settings > Apps > Installed apps.
    • Find Microsoft 365 (or Microsoft Office), select Modify.
    • Try Quick Repair first. If the issue persists, try Online Repair.

    3/ Install the latest Microsoft 365 updates

    • If you can open another Office application such as Excel, go to File > Account > Update Options > Update Now.

    If Word still cannot be opened, please let me know what happens when you try to launch it, including any error message or error code. A screenshot of the error would also be helpful so I can suggest the next troubleshooting steps.
