Why did Microsoft uninstall my office student 2016 that were working fine with Windows 10? If I reinstall it from my account will I be charged for something I already paid for?

    An update turned out to have an undesired side-effect; see https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/servicing/os/microsoft-365/kb5002907-optional-update-for-out-of-date-microsoft-365-apps-installations. The fix is to reinstall and reactivate your version of Office. In most cases, you can reinstall from your associated account. If you run into activation issues, see https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/activation/activate-microsoft-perpetual-products-using-the-product-activation-portal .
