Step 2: Run the Office Online Repair Tool

If the Quick Repair tool did not solve the problem, you can try a more thorough repair using the Office Online Repair tool:

Return to the Control Panel as mentioned in Step 1.

Select «Programs and Features».

3. Right-click on your version of Microsoft Office and select «Change».

4. This time, select «Online Repair» and then click «Repair».

If your Office application is running in safe mode, you may have a problematic add-in. To disable add-ins:

Open the Office application.

2. Click on «File» (or «Office Account» in some versions).

Select «Options».

4. Navigate to the «Add-ons» or «Add-ons» section.

If none of the above steps solves the problem, you can try using the Office repair and uninstall tool:

Download the Office repair and uninstallation tool from the official Microsoft website.

2. Run the tool and follow the on-screen instructions to repair or uninstall Office.
