    Cannot upload .docx or .xlsx files


    Good day!


    For about 10 days I have had the following issue: I cannot upload .docx or .xlsx files with any browser I have tried to Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome.

    When the window to select the file is opened and I click on the .docx or .xlsx file, the browser freezes and it is no longer possible to perform the action.


    Both Windows 10 and the browsers are up-to-date and the files can be opened and modified with Office without problems at all. There are no problems with any other file extension .doc, .pdf, etc..


    I have not installed any programs nor modified any Windows 10 feature recently. Windows diagnose commands sfc or DISM did not detect any problems. Antivirus scans Avira Antivirus did not detect any virus at all.


    Any idea what could be causing this problem?


    Thanks for your help!

  2. File Explorer not previewing .docx files or .xlsx will preview txt pdf

    OK, tried all of the above (cache to 1GB, winword /r, etc). Still have the problem with File (not internet) Explorer. Getting a new wrinkle now. After doing winword.exe /r, I got this

    Cannot upload .docx or .xlsx files [​IMG]

    Cannot upload .docx or .xlsx files [​IMG]

    It suggests saving Normal.dotm to the Documents folder but it won't let me do that either. I just keep getting the "We can't save this..." box no matter where I try to save it.

    It seems like Word is completely screwed up and now I don't know if my Preview problem is Win10 related or Word 365/Office related.

    My head hurts.

  3. Unable to use Open > Browse for XLSX, PPTX or DOCX files

    Each time I attempt to Open with 'Browse' function, the application crashes when selecting xlsx, docx and pptx files (even before clicking the 'Open' button).

    The same when I try to open from any Office apps, or when using the 'browse' window to upload to Chrome, Firefox, Edge, etc.

    I do not have the same issues when selecting CSV or XLS files. I do not have the issue opening XLSX files directly from the Excel Open page without using Browse.

    I am running latest of everything.

    Example in this Loom for opening a CSV successfully and crashing when trying to open an XLSX file:

    Loom | Send a video. Not a thousand words.
