This fix worked for one of my client's laptops. Microsoft tech support wasted 3 hours wanting me to reinstall everything or reset the PC. They didn't have a clue how to fix it. Super stuff, thank you Sir!

Thank you so much bro. I spent many days to fix this, cause my Office wont open. First they can only open with 'Run as Administrator' directly to the app (cant open through files). I found that my problem was because of CCleaner Reactivator was in Debugger value (found in registry that you show in video).

I thought this because of tweaking/customizing app. Now I use BleachBit instead of CCleaner.

You helped me.

If you cannot open Microsoft Office files, you need to remove the debugger (created from ccleaner) section, which is located in the Winword, Excel, etc. folders.

Hi, I am typing 'winword' under Start-Run on Windows 11 and get message "Windows cannot find 'winword'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and try again.
". Will your registry fix also solve this problem? Note I have noticed "C:\Program Files\Microsoft - Part of Office 365 I am guessing. Thanks.
