How to fix Office 2013 and 2016 crash after the welcome screen, First thing First Error
According to a Microsoft statement, the issue only affects "less than 1%" of the product's user base, but the number isn't large enough to be considered a "high priority issue." And it only affects users who use Office 2013's Click-to-Run technology, which is basically a method of streaming a virtualized version of the applications instead of installing them directly on the PC.
For those affected, Microsoft is working on a permanent solution. In the meantime, users who receive the error message "We couldn't start your program. Please try starting it again. If it doesn't start, try repairing Office using Programs and Features in Control Panel." can fix the problem by simply uninstalling the current Office 2013 suite using this Fix It patch from Microsoft. Then just go to your Office account and download the product again.
I hope you found this site useful. Before you move on, I'd like to ask if you would like to support my work. As an independent site, creating content takes a lot of work and dedication, and due to the use of adblockers and AI, ad revenue is rapidly declining. Unlike many other sites, there is no paywall blocking readers here, so you can see why your help is needed. Your support allows me to continue the work I love to do. Thank you.
