Microsoft Office programs like Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint are essential for work, school, and everyday productivity. But when they suddenly stop working—crashing, freezing, or showing error messages—it can bring your entire day to a halt.

Common Microsoft Office Errors
Here are some of the most frequent issues we see with Microsoft Office programs:
“Microsoft Word has stopped working”
Excel freezes or won’t open certain files
Outlook won’t send or receive emails
“Something went wrong” Office activation errors
Corrupt Office files or templates
Office apps won’t launch after a Windows update
Most of these issues come down to software conflicts, corrupted files, or outdated components.
What Causes Microsoft Office Errors?
Several factors can trigger problems in Office programs:
Outdated Office version
Corrupted installation or missing files
Add-ins or plug-ins causing conflicts
Windows updates or system file corruption
Issues with user profiles or permissions
Viruses or malware interfering with Office processes
Whatever the cause, Office errors can quickly slow productivity to a crawl.
DIY Fixes for Microsoft Office Problems
If your Office programs are giving you trouble, try these simple solutions first:
1. Repair the Office Installation
Go to:
Settings → Apps → Microsoft Office → Modify → Choose “Quick Repair” or “Online Repair”
This can fix missing or corrupted files without uninstalling everything.
2. Disable Add-ins
Start the program in Safe Mode by holding Ctrl while launching the app.
From there, disable add-ins in:
File → Options → Add-ins
Many Office crashes are caused by third-party extensions.
3. Update Microsoft Office
Make sure you're running the latest updates:
File → Account → Update Options → Update Now
Microsoft frequently releases patches for bugs and compatibility issues.
4. Run a Malware Scan
Malware and adware can interfere with Office performance. Run a full scan, or let ABQ Computer Pros handle the virus and malware removal for you.
