    To repair a Microsoft Word installation, repair the Office or Microsoft 365 suite that Word is part of.

    1. Restart the laptop first. Sometimes that resolves the issue.
    2. Open the repair tool based on Windows version:
      • Windows 11: Right-click Start → Installed apps.
      • Windows 10: Right-click Start → Apps and Features.
    3. Find Microsoft 365 or Office, then select:
      • Windows 11: click the three dots → Modify
      • Windows 10: select the app → Modify
    4. Choose the repair type:
      • Online Repair → Repair: more complete fix.
      • Quick Repair: faster, but only detects and replaces corrupted files.
    5. Follow the on-screen steps to finish.
    6. Restart the computer if prompted.

    Important:

    • This repairs the entire Office suite, not just Word.
    • If Word is installed as a standalone app, select Word instead.
