Windows 10: Microsoft products will not open.

Hello,I bought a new laptop a few months ago and downloaded Microsoft products onto it. I have not had any problems today. I clicked on my Microsoft word files 4 of them and they will not open at all and there is no message. I do not know what is wrong. How can I open my files? I do have a Microsoft 365 account and those apps work online. Please help. Thanks!

Microsoft Office products on Windows 10

• 
  What exactly do you mean by Microsoft product will not open?
  
  ​ When I try to open any Microsoft application (Word, Excel)​, either opening a document, or the program itself, the document or program flash open for a split second, then close.
  
• 
  Are you referring to Microsoft Office product or all Microsoft product?
  
  ​ Sorry, Microsoft Office programs.​
  
• 
  What exactly happens when you try to open?
  
  ​ See above.​
  
• 
  Are you getting any error message?
  
  ​ No. I did try a suggestion I saw in an online blog - to Run excel / safe, but that didn't work at all.​

Mail app will not open on 10041.

Hello Adam,

This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it.

In this Windows 10 build 10041, the Mail, Calendar, and People apps may be broken due to a licensing issue with the Store Beta. To get these apps working again, you need to follow these steps:

• Open powershell as administrator
• Run the command Get-appxprovisionedpackage –online | where-object {$_.packagename –like “*windowscommunicationsapps*”} | remove-appxprovisionedpackage –online
• Re-install Mail, People and Calendar from the Store (green tile)
