    Unable to Open PowerPoint Presentations


    Hi, I'm having trouble opening PowerPoint presentations on my Windows 11 laptop. Whenever I try to open a PowerPoint file, I receive an error message saying "PowerPoint couldn't read the file." This happens with all PowerPoint files, including ones that I've been able to open before. Can someone please help me troubleshoot this issue and open PowerPoint presentations again?

    :)

    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 Unable to Open PowerPoint Presentations :)

    Assigned Access of Powerpoint Presentation

    I was hoping that by downloading the PowerPoint Mobile app in windows store, that I would be able to use it to setup assigned access on a Windows 10 computer and display a powerpoint presentation. Our issues is, we need this to be a Kiosk that no-one can
    close out the presentation. Powerpoint allows you to turn most functions off, but you can still access the ease of access toolbar, and can also close the presentation out. When I go to assigned access though, Powerpoint Mobile does not appear in the list of
    Apps. I have downloaded other Supposed PowerPoint Presenters, but none of them show up in the list either.

    Can anyone tell me how to achieve this! I do not understand how to setup the Power Shell code to set this up, too technical for me. But I really need this as Kiosk computer. Any suggestion?

    PowerPoint file crashes PowerPoint upon opening

    Firstly, I am not that familiar with Powerpoint.
    I have only messed it with a few times.

    Try this... Use one of these, or all of these, to open the file and see if they will run and save it:
    Kingsoft Office Suite Free 2012
    Lotus Symphony 3.0.1
    LibreOffice
    Apache OpenOffice 3.4.0

    Some other info that may be of use:

    PowerPoint won't open my older PowerPoint presentations

    Goodluck
