Windows 10: Word continually fails to respond

Word fails to respond when I try to upload a document or add a Word attachment to email. I try it dozens of times until it randomly works and my document uploads. I'm sending documents to different businesses, and it happens on all of their sites. I am trying to upload dox that are in subfolders. I can click through to the correct folder with no problem. But when I click the dox, Word fails to respond.I've restarted Word a hundred times, and I've rebooted my laptop, a Surface Pro 6. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thank you!

Word Keeps Not Responding

Hello, I have a co-worker who's MS Word keeps not responding when using spell check. It happens on any word file. The task manager seems to show the hard drive at 2% when word does not respond but CPU and RAM looks fine. They are server files.

Specs: 64 bit Win 10, 8 gig ram, Office 365 for business 2005

Windows is up to date, ran word in safe mode with no add-ins, disabled graphics hardware acceleration, ran quick and full office repair, ran dism and sfc /scan now and nothing found, disabled ESET(anti-virus), tried disconnecting from server drives and re-mounting, deleted the Word Data registry subkey and restarted the PC, word is up to date, optimized for compatibility and best appearance, ran word in "winword /a"

When the user is away I will make sure her GPU is up to date, do a clean boot then uninstall Office365. Any other suggestions? Not sure what else is left lol
