Windows 10 Issue
Windows 10 Issue
On my windows 10 laptop, I suddenly no longer have Word. It's been replaced with something called Wordpad. It leaves me unable to open up documents I have already created in Word.
What's up?

Re: Windows 10 Issue
My first thought is Word is still on your computer. But the desktop icon is gone.
Do you know how to navigate My Computer and get to your program files?
Or you're trying to open a text document that isn't a Word file. That would explain why you're seeing WordPad.
Those are my two guesses.
Re: Windows 10 Issue
The word icon on the desktop has been replaced by the wordpad icon. I have word documents that I created when I had word and now I can't open them.
Someone told me that maybe Windows sent me an update I hadn't asked for.

Re: Windows 10 Issue
I'm thinking a Windows update isn't going to affect Word. WordPad is a word processor that comes with the Windows operating system. Word is a program the operating system can run for you.
I'm not saying you're wrong. But it would be the first time I've heard of a Windows update removing program files that are not bundled with the operating system.
Re: Windows 10 Issue
I'm sure you're right. This is all way over my head. I may have to get help from one of my sons.

Re: Windows 10 Issue
Word is probably still listed in your start menu programs. Windows Update wouldn't automatically remove Microsoft Word.
Re: Windows 10 Issue
The Office 2019 that came with the computer expired. Had to purchase Office 2022 and download it for $169.00.
Re: Windows 10 Issue
I don't believe there is a 2022. You probably got 2021.
Which version did you get?
Office Home and Student? Office Home and Office? Office Professional?
Office for Working Class?

I wouldn't have had a problem working with wordpad but I was unable to open any of my existing word documents.
Re: Windows 10 Issue
There is a program called NeatOffice that you can download for free if you lost Word, Excel, or Powerpoint. It can read Word files, but it has a slightly different look and feel.

Ask not what your country can do FOR you; ask what they are about to do TO YOU!!
Re: Windows 10 Issue
I still can't shag the feeling Turkey could of continued to use the older version. Just have to find it and create another desktop icon.audiophile wrote: ↑Wed Jun 08, 2022 6:57 am Right-click on the document, select "Open With", then select Word.
A Windows update removing a program that's not bundled in Windows seems odd to me. Suppose we'll never know since he did upgrade Office.
Wonder if, as soon as he upgraded, Voila, there's all his old files magically migrated into the new Office?
Re: Windows 10 Issue
Someone did suggest that to me. But when I clicked on "Open With", Word was not on the list of options.audiophile wrote: ↑Wed Jun 08, 2022 6:57 am Right-click on the document, select "Open With", then select Word.
The files never went away. I just couldn't open them.In The Bleachers wrote: ↑Wed Jun 08, 2022 12:18 pm

Re: Windows 10 Issue
The main problem with Windows 10 is Windows 11. Microsoft does not want to support 10 anymore. They just want you to buy 11.
