To do so, simply go here and download the appropriate version of the Microsoft Fix It for the version of the Windows Operating System that you are using.
Solution 4: Time to Switch & Make Life Easy and Less Expensive
Since the issue is with Office Programs, it would be best to just switch to the alternatives that works without issues. For Outlook; you can use Thunderbird; for Office Applications; you can use (Apache Open Office). Both of these software’s are free to use and in my opinion, they are highly reliable with almost all the features built into Office. Which contains the alternatives for (Word, PowerPoint, Excel etc). And they will automatically be compatible with the files worked on and built with Office Apps.
