When I open the Microsoft Office 365 - all apps: MS Excel; MS Word; MS PowerPoint; there is a message: error 53, then, I need to click too much times on the box to run the Microsoft Apps. How to fix the inconvenient problem Thanks a lot.

    in Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint) usually means “File not found” at the system level. Office is trying to load something (a file, DLL, or add-in) that isn’t available
     Check Office Add-ins
    • Open Excel (or Word/PowerPoint) in Safe Mode:
    • Press Win + R, type:
    • excel /safe
    • (or winword /safe, powerpnt /safe)
    • If the error doesn’t appear → it’s caused by an add-in.
    • Go to File → Options → Add-ins → Manage COM Add-ins → Go…
    • Disable suspicious add-ins (especially 3rd party ones).
    • Restart normally.
