Update: I tried updating to Current Channel today (previously was using Semi-Annual Channel; I tried the Semi-Annual Jan 10 update as well with no luck), and it appears to go blank (white for the whole content window) sometime after the first run, and as you mention, if you move/click or interact with Word it displays the content again. However, unlike Semi-Annual Channel version, it only seems to do this once, and then never again. I tried both 1920x1080 and 4k.
It seems like it might be related to the "See what's coming soon" first launch stuff. However, unlike the DisablePreviewPlace reg value for Outlook, unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a corresponding value for Word.Günter, you wrote a follow-up to your blog post saying that disabling H.264/AVC 444 ultimately did not resolve the Word issue where all the characters disappear. Did you find a resolution?
I'm seeing the *exact* same issue and thought I was going crazy. I tried Googling the issue, but that returned a bunch of garbage results... I know Word was named decades ago, but trying to craft queries that filter out useless results when product names are super-common words--like "word" or "teams" (a practice Microsoft continues...)--makes the products nearly immune from finding actually helpful info like your post. If not for stumbling across your comment here, I would not have found it.- Addendum: The user found a gpo to disable H.256/AVC 444, that seems to solve it at least - details are inside the linked blog post.
