If there's absolutely no way to get Power Point to work anymore normally on this particular install of Windows 10 Pro I just wish the application would set off a sea flare series of error messages stating that I need to reinstall Windows or use the application on another machine. This forum won't let me attach screen shots or I would to aid in troubleshooting. Or pay a Microsoft software architect to pore over the millions of lines of code on this install for about two weeks - at $100 an hour - to find exactly which segments of bits is causing Power Point to crash, and more importantly, how to hack them out of the registry without breaking functionality elsewhere. Looks like the only option is to download VirtualBox and install an Evaluation version of Windows 10 on it and run the Microsoft Office Suite from there, or do a complete bare metal wipe and load of Windows on this computer. Used the Run As Administrator option upon start up.Įvery time I start up Power Point, it tells me it can only start in Safe Mode. Used the Microsoft Office FixIt tool, rebooted system, and downloaded/reinstalled Office 2016 from Office 365.Ĥ. Did Online Repair in Programs and Features when the quick repair didn't help.ģ. Did a Quick repair in Control Panel/Programs and FeaturesĢ. Here's the rundown on what I did to fix this problem.ġ. Power Point 2016 will only start in Safe Mode. Now I have to learn how to bridge network adapters in VirtualBOX so I can join a homegroup with my physical network or I'm going to be doing a lot of uploading and downloading of very large video files from OneDrive or DropBox. Probably would help to upgrade my machine to 32 GB of RAM as well so the VM can have 16 GB all to itself. So if Microsoft doesn't come up with a fix for this problem I'll have to buy another Win 10 Home product key and run my PP presentations from there. This is a Live Office account so I can install on up to 5 machines. I installed Win 10 Home on VirtualBOX on my main PC and Power Point works fine from there. All my other Office applications work fine. The link above says one may have to wait 30 days until a shim is available so if anybody has the same problems cropping up you may have to run your presentations on another machine temporarily. I installed the latest drivers for my GTX 770 adapter, made sure Win 10 Pro is fully updated.
This problem just started yesterday as Power Point worked fine before this. The Advanced feature in File/Options is grayed out and unavailable in Safe Mode. I ran the offCAT tool and it says the hardware acceleration for my graphics adapter has been disabled. I'm leaving this post for the next guy coming behind me. ! Looks like the problem went away on its own, Power Point now opens normally on my main machine.
