Windows 10: Office stops working and I have to reinstall it, why?

Every so often, my brand new install of office 365, on my brand new computer, stops working and I get the error message: "Crogram Files\Microsoft Office\Root\Office16\VCRUNTIME140.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support Error status 0xc000012f"

I then have to go to my microsoft account, and completely reinstall office 365.

This is become EXTREMELY irritating.

Any help?

Problems reinstalling Office 2016

First thing to do is to go through each step in this Office Support document: Manually uninstall Office - Microsoft Office

That will take some time, I have done this a few times and dislike the complexity of it every time, but it has always helped me to reinstall Office.

One step not mentioned on that page is to restart when done, before reinstalling Office.

 

Uninstalled Office

Hello Jimmy, my name is Irisdiel and I am an independent advisor.

I suggest the following steps which were provided by Microsoft Support:

Go to the Control Panel, Programs and Features (or Add/Remove Programs) and find the Microsoft Office installation. Click Change (or Repair) and run the repair on the software. If there is no Microsoft Office program listed there then you should reinstall the
Office product from the original install media

Hope this helps!

Thank you and good luck,

Regards- .

Thank your for posting back, we already think that it was the graphic card driver. We suggest that you uninstall and reinstall your graphic card driver and visit the manufacturer's website to check the latest driver of your graphic card.

We suggest that you follow this step on how to uninstall and reinstall driver:

• Open Device Manager, right-click (or tap and hold) the name of the device, and select
  Uninstall. Restart your PC and Windows will attempt to reinstall the driver.
