Situatie

1. Initial Diagnostics

1. Identify the Specific Application:
   • Determine which Microsoft Office application is experiencing the issue.
   • Note if the problem occurs with multiple Office applications or just one.
2. Gather Information from the User:
   • Ask the user to describe the problem in detail, including any error messages that appear.
   • Identify when the issue occurs (e.g., at startup, when opening a specific file, randomly).

2. Basic Troubleshooting Steps

1. Restart the Application and Computer:
   • Close the unresponsive Office application using Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) and then restart the application.
   • Restart the user’s computer to clear any temporary issues.
2. Update Microsoft Office:
   • Ensure that Microsoft Office is up-to-date. Open any Office application, go to File > Account > Update Options, and select Update Now.
3. Run Office in Safe Mode:
   • Open the Office application in Safe Mode by holding the Ctrl key while launching the application. This helps identify if add-ins or extensions are causing the issue.

3. Check for Add-ins and Extensions

1. Disable Add-ins:
   • Go to File > Options > Add-ins and disable all add-ins by selecting COM Add-ins from the drop-down menu and clicking Go.
   • Uncheck all add-ins and restart the application to see if the issue is resolved.
2. Re-enable Add-ins One by One:
   • Enable each add-in one by one and restart the application to identify the add-in causing the problem.

4. Verify and Repair Office Installation

1. Repair Office Installation:
   • Open Control Panel > Programs and Features.
   • Select Microsoft Office and click Change.
   • Choose Quick Repair first. If the issue persists, select Online Repair.
2. Check for Corrupted Files:
   • Use the built-in repair feature for Office documents. For example, in Word, go to File > Open, select the problematic document, click the drop-down arrow next to the Open button, and choose Open and Repair.

5. Check System Resources

1. Monitor Resource Usage:
   • Open Task Manager and monitor CPU, memory, and disk usage to ensure that the system has sufficient resources.
   • Identify any other applications consuming excessive resources and close them if necessary.
2. Increase Virtual Memory:
   • Adjust virtual memory settings by going to Control Panel > System > Advanced system settings.
   • Under the Advanced tab, click Settings in the Performance section, then go to the Advanced tab and click Change under Virtual Memory.

6. Check for Software Conflicts

1. Antivirus Software:
   • Temporarily disable antivirus software to see if it is causing the issue.
   • Ensure that Office applications and related processes are whitelisted in the antivirus settings.
2. Windows Updates:
   • Ensure that Windows is up-to-date with the latest updates and patches.

7. Advanced Diagnostics

1. Event Viewer:
   • Open Event Viewer and check the Application logs for any errors related to Office applications. Look for specific error codes and descriptions that can provide clues.
2. Office Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT):
   • Download and run the Office Configuration Analyzer Tool from Microsoft. This tool scans for known issues and configuration problems with Office applications.
3. Windows Safe Mode:
   • Boot Windows into Safe Mode with Networking and test the Office applications. This helps determine if a background process or service is causing the issue.

Resolution Steps

1. Reinstall Microsoft Office

• If the above steps do not resolve the issue, consider uninstalling and then reinstalling Microsoft Office.
• Open Control Panel > Programs and Features, select Microsoft Office, and click Uninstall.
• Download the latest version of Office from the official Microsoft website and reinstall it.

2. Create a New User Profile

• Sometimes user profiles can become corrupted. Create a new user profile and test the Office applications under this new profile.
• Go to Settings > Accounts > Family & other users and click Add someone else to this PC.

3. Restore System to a Previous State

• If the issue started recently, consider performing a System Restore to a point before the problem began.
• Open Control Panel > System and Security > System > System Protection and click System Restore.
