Use the uninstall troubleshooter to remove Microsoft 365 or older Office versions from the same Windows PC, restart when prompted, then reinstall. Important:
- The uninstall troubleshooter requires Windows 10 or higher.
- It can’t uninstall Office 2024.
- If Office appears to install but apps do not work, repair Office On Windows 11, right-click Start > Installed apps. On Windows 10, right-click Start > Apps and Features. Select the Microsoft Office product > Modify > Online Repair > Repair. This repairs the full Office suite.
- Check Windows Update Install available Windows updates, then try the Office install again.
- Do not edit the Windows Registry to force past restart-related install issues That can cause additional problems later.
