    Windows 10 Office 2007 Word & Excel can only open docs if run as Admin


    My HP Compaq nc6120 laptop works perfectly well on 1909 when booted from a Windows To Go USB stick but always fails when I try to upgrade the 1709 installed on its hard drive. In case lack of space was the issue, I cleared the user files off to make 8GB available but it still failed as before.

    After the rollback to 1709 I restored the user files but found Word could only open docx files if run as Admin, whereas Excel opened .xlsx files normally. I created a new admin user account and logged in as that, then deleted my old account, then recreated it. Now neither Word nor Excel can open files unless run as Admin. Also OneDrive doesn’t start. Any ideas?

    Running Excel 2007 in Windows 10

    I have read of many problems trying to get Excel or Office 2007 to work in Windows 10.

    I have just aquired a new desktop PC with Windows 10 and at first copied across my Office 12 to the Microsoft office file, however it wouldn't run.

    So I installed my original copy of Office 2007 and it now runs Excel and Word okay.

    However I can open them with a shortcut and the select to open any file from the program, but if I select a folder with say an excel file and double click it to open, it shows a blank Excel 2007 spreadsheet.

    If I try to select open with... it only shows Excel 2016 as an option, no Excel 2007

    Anyone know how to fix this?

    Word and Excel documents are slow to open in Windows 10

    Have the same problem, here are my conditions:

    - Windows 10 Professional x64.

    - Office 2007 Ultimate.

    - Opening Word and Excel documents is slow when Word/Excel not currently open/running.

    - Opening the Word/Excel document with Word/Excel already open is fast/normal.

    Solution is the same as reported:

    1) Disable Cortana.

    2) Restart Windows.

    Step 2 is very important.
