Word doesn't open a second time
I can't say with complete certainty that it is every time, but consistently enough that it is noticeable and frustrating. The only way I've found to get word to open again is to restart the laptop, then word will open again.
Does Word run normally if you start it in application Safe mode? See https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/office/open-office-apps-in-safe-mode-on-a-windows-pc-dedf944a-5f4b-4afb-a453-528af4f7ac72.
I can't seem to recreate the issue now, which is equal parts frustrating and relieving. My partner has mainly had the issue when using a memory stick, but has left that at work so I can't try it out.
I did open word in safe mode and it worked fine, but like I said before there was no issue this time in reopening/editing/saving several word files.
Sorry if this has wasted your time!
Thanks for the follow-up. I'm glad you are seeing improvements. It would of course be nice to get an explanation, but sometimes there is no (simple) explanation.
