I just recently purchased a new M4 Macbook air and migrated all of my data using Apple's migration assistant. All files seem to have been copied fine; however, powerpoint is no longer opening my files correctly. The application itself loads fine and creating a new powerpoint is also fine. If I try to open a file from onedrive, then the app crashes. Here's the error log:

    Further to Jim's reply, make sure macOS is fully updated — Just because the Mac is new doesn't guarantee that the pre-installed OS has been updated. The Mac could have been in the pipeline for weeks. Not all suppliers bother to install updates before handing over the Mac.

    Assuming it is running Sequoia version 15.4 is the current release.
