Windows 10: Error 0xc0000142 when attempting to to open office apps after the office update splash...

Any ideas? This has totally fucked up my work schedule right now and I need this working again by tomorrow. PC is 100% free of malware and well taken care of. Repairing office changes nothing.

Office 2019

Only supported on Win10. Sorry, 8.1 users, only 4 years old, gotta go.

Microsoft Office 2019 will only work on Windows 10

Spoiler Office 2019
Last year at Ignite, we announced Office 2019 – the next perpetual version of Office that includes apps (including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, and Skype for Business) and servers (including Exchange, SharePoint, and Skype for Business). Today we’re pleased to share the following updates:

• Office 2019 will ship in H2 of 2018. Previews of the new apps and servers will start shipping in the second quarter of 2018.
• Office 2019 apps will be supported on:
  • Any supported Windows 10 SAC release
  • Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2018
  • The next LTSC release of Windows Server
• The Office 2019 client apps will be released with Click-to-Run installation technology only. We will not provide MSI as a deployment methodology for Office 2019 clients. We will continue to provide MSI for Office Server products.

 

open office or libre office

Open Office, because it is already installed. While they have split, there have not been any real changes to the software. OpenOffice and LibreOffice are currently identical. Neither has any advantage over the other.

We will see what changes in the future.

Oh wait. I can put OpenOffice on a thumb drive as a portable App. Point to the Old.

Update: I have to take that last statement back. Portable Apps added Libre Office as well.
