Samsung OneUI 7.0 update causes WORD to not open

I recently got the Samsung One UI 7.0 upgrade. (It was forced.) Now WORD, EXCEL, and M365 Copilot will not open. There is a little flash when I try to open them, but no message or other visual. Samsung support has had me clear all cache on the phone, and do a settings reset. I have uninstalled, re-installed, and shut down my phone numerous times. Any ideas?

    I found a fix on another site or string.

    Go to secure folder.

    Click + to add an app.

    Scroll through apps and will find "Office Mobile" in "hidden apps".

    Install to secure folder.

    Then Uninstall.

    M365 apps started working after doing this.

    Hi Cindy, I am having the same experience as you on my Samsung S23 in which is becoming very frustrating. I hope they fix this problem sooner than later.

    Hi Sindy,

    Thank you for using Microsoft products and making community posts.

    I understands the importance of resolving this issue, possibly this has something to do with the latest Samsung updates but don't worry here are some steps that you can try:

    1. Check App Permissions – Some users found that opening the Office Mobile App and manually allowing permissions helped Word, Excel, and other Microsoft apps start working again.
    2. Try a Different Version – If possible, install an older version of the apps from a trusted source or check if Samsung's Galaxy Store has a different version available.
    3. Try to launch the applications on different device to isolate the problem.
    4. Use Office Web Apps – Until a fix is available, you can access Word, Excel, and Copilot via Microsoft 365 online in your browser.

    Please feel free to let me know how it goes.
