3.) Why does Microsoft Office behave like this?


As is so often the case, it is an unfortunate coincidence or overlapping of various actions on the system, because the operating system is a multitasking tool that also performs other tasks in the background. It can also be disruptions in the Internet that lead to such errors, fortunately it is not a problem because most errors in Microsoft Office packages can be fixed quite quickly and do not require any textbooks or expert knowledge regarding Microsoft Office products.


Other causes include:

It is likely that the crash and error message are due to a problem with the update process. There may have been a problem downloading or installing the updates, or the updates were not compatible with your version of Office.

There are various reasons why Microsoft Office may crash or display error messages. Some of the most common causes include:

Insufficient system resources:
If your computer doesn't have enough memory, disk space, or processing power, it can cause problems with Office.

Incompatible hardware or software:

Corrupted or Corrupted Office Files:
