Windows 10: Word icon missing from all docs in Office 2019 Pro Plus

I have Windows 10, 2004 19041.502. I'm new with windows 10 and I installed my old Office 2010. I then installed Office 2019. I removed the old Word and Excel and left the rest of 2010 on the laptop for now. At some point later for unknown reason, my 2019 became Office 2016. I followed the instructions to repair both online and offline many times and I could could not get 2019 back. But also the Word icon disappeared from all my word docs both on the desktop and in folders. Somehow I finally got Office 2019 back although the Onenote icon has 2016 next to it. No big deal. But what is driving me absolutely insane is that I cannot get the 2019 Word icon, or any Word icon to replace these generic blank icons. I have googled for a week and tried all the repairs, even going into the registry but all to no avail. Anyone know how to fix this? I have seen in my searches that other people have the same problem with the Word icon. My Office is MS Office Pro Plus 2019

Office 2019

Only supported on Win10. Sorry, 8.1 users, only 4 years old, gotta go.

Microsoft Office 2019 will only work on Windows 10

Spoiler Office 2019
Last year at Ignite, we announced Office 2019 – the next perpetual version of Office that includes apps (including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, and Skype for Business) and servers (including Exchange, SharePoint, and Skype for Business). Today we’re pleased to share the following updates:

• Office 2019 will ship in H2 of 2018. Previews of the new apps and servers will start shipping in the second quarter of 2018.
• Office 2019 apps will be supported on:
  • Any supported Windows 10 SAC release
  • Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2018
  • The next LTSC release of Windows Server
• The Office 2019 client apps will be released with Click-to-Run installation technology only. We will not provide MSI as a deployment methodology for Office 2019 clients. We will continue to provide MSI for Office Server products.

 

Problems with Office 2019 after sleep/hibernate

Running Windows 10 Pro/64bit, version 1903 on a MSI GS73 and after replacing my Office 2013 with Office 2019 Pro Plus I have issues with Office after sleep and hibernate.

Parts of content (menu items etc.) in the Office programs are missing. It is fixed by re-starting each individual program.

Any suggestions?

 

Word docs

many thanks for responding and trying to help me. the problem is that all of the docs in various folders that were word docs are no longer word docs - they only open on wordpad (and so parts of the docs cannot be seen). does anyone know why that would
happen?

I actually don't know if I have a current subscription to office.

thanks again for any help anyone can give
