Unable to create a new document from a content type
We'll do the same. We found that IE11 + Classic Experience works as expected, but something caused this to break.
jefmeyer , so here is the outcome:
1) Problem with file handler protocol: The "Sorry, we could not perform this action because Office do not recognize this command" was caused by a problem with the file handler protocol when creating a new document based on a content type from the "New" library menu. Microsoft applied a patch and this morning, the Office applications were starting but Word still had an issue described below.
2) Word SharePoint properties panel issue: When you create a new document from a content type that has metadata that are not related to the default Office properties (like title, comments, author etc.), the SharePoint Properties right panel will open automatically. However there is a bug that makes word crash when you open the panel.... Office backend support do not manage this type of issues so I've submited a comments from the Word application but I have no clue if it will be addressed...
What a waste of time and money... There seems to be 0 testing of what they throw out to their customers.... Microsoft customers are now the testers...
