Microsoft Upload Center crashing

So I got a couple of computers on which the users are getting an error about the Microsoft Upload Center crashing when they closing an Office program like Excel or Word. 

 

Now I already tried deleting the cache, also there isn't any item in the upload center at anytime.

I know the solution from Microsoft says you have to do a clean boot, but that would mean a reset of Windows. I'm don't want to do this, just to fix this error.

At first, I thought it was only a problem when Office 365 was used on Windows 7, but I now also get mentions about it from users with Windows 10, although with Windows 10 it's not always popping up.

I know one solution, that's to rename the process so it won't start anymore. But that's temporal since it's back after Office is updated.

 

Do anyone know a working solution, without resetting Windows?

  • Hello Alex,

     

    It is more of office application subscription issue than the O365 ..

    1.

    > Open your Windows explorer   

    > go to Office 15 folder and locate office cache 

    2. 

    > Go to office update ( select update option) for your office subscription

    > update 

     

    3.

    > new office cache appears .

    > rename the old cache

    > Restart your laptop 

    Done .. no more errors / crash 

     

    Hope this helps 

    Thanks,

    Thuyavan
