Welcome to The Windows Club! We are here with a video to resolve
0:13
the error Excel, Word or PowerPoint couldn't start last time; do you want to
0:19
start in safe mode? This is what the error looks like. It
0:24
gives you the option to start the application in safe mode
0:28
directly by clicking on yes. But, if you have
0:31
already clicked on no, then you can launch the application in
0:36
safe mode as follows. Press Windows plus R
0:41
and then type the command power pnt space forward slash safe to launch
0:49
PowerPoint in safe mode. The command to launch
0:53
MS Word in safe mode is win word space forward slash
1:00
safe. To launch Excel in safe mode, the command is excel space forward slash
1:07
safe then click on ok. This would launch Excel in safe mode as
1:13
you can see safe mode is mentioned on the top here.
1:18
Then, click on file on the list on the left hand side. You can select
1:24
options. But, since we do not have that option,
1:28
click on mall and then select options. Now, in the Excel options, Window on the
1:35
list on the left hand side, select add-ins. In the manage section,
1:41
change the type from Excel add-ins to com add-ins using the drop-down menu.
1:48
Click on go. In case, any add-in is checked,
1:53
uncheck it all the add-ins should be unchecked
1:56
and then click on ok and relaunch the application.
2:01
This will disable all the add-ins for that specific
2:07
Microsoft Office application. If it doesn't work, you can repair the
2:12
Office installation as follows. Click on the start button and select
2:18
settings, then go to apps,
2:23
and select apps and features. Scroll down to the Microsoft Office
2:29
application, click on modify and select online repair.
2:35
This will help you repair the office installation.
2:39
I will avoid it for now and the last option would be to delete
2:45
the starter application folder from app data. To do so, we have mentioned
2:52
these paths in this article on The Windows Club. You would find the
2:58
link in the description section. All you need to do is copy this path,
3:04
open the run Window by pressing the Windows key plus run,
3:09
copy paste the path and click on ok. Now, this folder opens. In this case,
3:18
select the startup folder and hit delete. This will delete the startup folder and
3:24
the associated temporary startup files. The name of the folder is startup for
3:30
Word and PowerPoint, but for Excel the name is Excel start.
3:34
So, this is the difference and once you delete this folder,
3:39
you would be able to relaunch the application
3:42
as ab initio. Isn't this easy? If you have any doubts, please let us
3:49
know in the comment section. Do not forget to subscribe to the
