• Choose the repair option that suits your needs and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the repair process.
• Once the repair is done, restart your computer.

Reset Individual Office Apps

If the issue persists, you can try resetting or repairing individual Office apps without affecting the rest of the Office suite. Here's how:

• Type the name of the app (e.g., Word, Excel, or Outlook) in the Windows Search box.
• Right-click on the app entry and select "App settings."
• On the settings page, scroll down to find the "Reset" and "Repair" options.

By following these steps, you should be able to repair Microsoft Office or Office 365 on your Windows 11 computer and resolve any issues you were experiencing.

Repairing Microsoft Office or Office 365 using Settings in Windows 10

Microsoft Office applications will, at some point, break or malfunction. If this happens, you can run the repair utility in Office 365. Microsoft refined the repair options with the Office 365 release (Now referred to as Microsoft 365). Based on Click-to-Run technology, it is easy to access repair files over the internet, and there is no need to install media.

Steps to Repair Microsoft Office or Office 365 in Windows 10:

• Access the Apps and Features menu: Right-click the Start button (lower-left corner) and select Apps and Features on the pop-up menu.
• Select the Microsoft Office product: Choose the Microsoft Office product you want to repair and select Modify. Note that this will repair the entire Office suite, even if you only want to repair one application, such as Word or Excel. If you have a standalone app installed, search for that application by name.
• Choose the type of repair: Depending on your Office installation type (Click-to-run or MSI-based), you will see different options to proceed with the repair. The two types of repairs are Quick Repair and Online Repair. Quick Repair works without internet access and fixes almost all kinds of errors. Online Repair, on the other hand, requires network connectivity as it downloads and runs the installation file.
• Run the repair: Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the repair. If you chose Quick Repair, select Online Repair in the "How would you like to repair your Office Programs" window and click Repair if the issue persists.
• Restart your computer: After the repair is complete, you might need to restart your computer.

Additional Troubleshooting Tips:

• If you are experiencing issues with Outlook specifically, you can try repairing it using the Microsoft Fix It tool, which will automatically fix any corrupt files causing the issue.
• If you are using a third-party firewall application, try changing your firewall settings as it might be blocking Outlook from accessing the internet.
• If Outlook cannot start or function properly, try opening it in Safe Mode.
• Microsoft Support and Recovery Assistant (SaRA) is a free application that can help you resolve a wide range of problems, including connection, password authentication, and startup issues.
