  1. "How do you want to open this file"


    Every time on startup I get that window "how do you want to open this file" and I can choose from Microsoft Edge,Firefox and Microsoft store...There is no option to select another program and when I select Microsoft store it shows me search results for "http".However if I choose any of the browsers it will just open some advertisement.There is nothing interesting in startup tab as I have tried to disable every single one of them including microsoft ones and the problem persisted.Tried deleting Firefox,still nothing.

    PowerPoint file crashes PowerPoint upon opening

    since this happens in some of the computers only, suggest that you open the file on working computer and copy everything and paste to a new powerpoint file.
    most of the time it works to me. *Smile "How do you want to open this file" :)
