    Word opens during boot-up

    I tried the following:
    Since my pc was on I opened the Task Manager & saw Microsoft Word listed in Processes. I ended the task & re-booted. Word was not open on the desktop. I opened the Task Manager & no Word listed.

    Next I opened Word & checked Task Manager & saw it listed. I closed Word but did not end the task. When I re-booted Word was open on the desktop.

    Therefore when I close word it's not actually/completely closing & remains listed in Task Manager. Why isn't Word closing completely & remaining in the Task Manager list?

    Opening a Word doc in a Second Desktop from Explorer

    Thank you so much for your reply!

    To clarify, the problem is that whenever I try to open another word doc in file explorer in a second desktop it goes back to the desktop in which there already is a word doc open and opens the requested doc there, instead of in the second desktop.

    I have tried the repair and it did not help. Any other suggestions?

    Desktop Word will not open

    Word opens during boot-up

    Thanks for response. I haven't had this problem before. When I close Word it stays closed until now.

    Word is not left open on the desktop. When I've finished I close Word then the next time I boot-up it's open on the desktop.

    Next time after I use then close Word I will check the End Task list. If listed I will End Task & see if Word is open after next boot-up.
