cannot save word files after 1809 update

so how is this fixed?

so how is this fixed?

There's no known fix at the moment - All of us need to start bugging Microsoft support until Microsoft fix it. Currently, you can't run Windows 10 1809 and Word COM add-ins at the same time.

I had the same problem with Word.  Couldn't save and then  Couldn't run any add-ins or macros in order to save.

For another reason, my Windows 10 wouldn't boot and I had to perform a "Repair Installing Windows 10".

This essential wipes Windows 10 and all your programs and reinstalls Windows 10.  You can choose to keep directories like Documents (Keep personal files, apps, and Windows settings). 

When I finally reinstalled Word, it ran normally with all add-ins and macros.

This at the moment seems to be the only way to get Word back to normal.

It is amazing the Microsoft does not provide a direct fix!!!!

Similar issue: Word 2016 with Acrobat Pro 2017.

Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Add-in is enabled in Word. ACROBAT tab is visible in the ribbon, but all of its options are disabled and Word cannot save any files. 

Once the add-in is disabled, the ACROBAT tab of course goes away and Word works OK.

Moreover, regardless of the Acrobat PDFMaker add-in  status in Word (i.e enabled or disabled), when right clicking on any Word document and selecting convert to pdf, the pdf is not created and I get an error message that Word 2016 cannot open the file as I don't have access to it!!!

my computer has just updated to 1809. now it seems i cannot save any files in Word. i am using Word 2013...

Any ideas what i can do?

Thanks

Seems to be the COM addin from FOX-it PDF reader. After removing Fox-it MS Word could save and "save as". I was using Word 2016 and had the same problem.
