After the new update of MS Office 2013 Pro today the 02/10/2016, hanging Word itself. At first I thought it was the document there was something wrong with, but the same the phenomenon also occurs with new upright and old documents and joins after a few seconds.

I can not remember that I have experienced it earlier

Are there any others with the same experience?

Hello,

We are continuing to investigate why Update KB3114717 cause Word to slow down or hang. As a workaround, you can safely remove that update and we will post more information here as we learn more.

Thanks,

-Mike

Got the same issue, the culprit was KB3114717 (February 9, 2016, update for Office 2013). After removal of KB3114717 , the freezes disappeared. The update can easily be removed via WSUS (set approval to "removal").

    Does this also apply [to Win10] Insider Preview builds...?

    This thread concerns an update for Office 2013, not Win10.

    If (a) you're running Office 2013 on any computer, (b) have installed KB3114717 and have since (c) "experienced issues" (i.e., in Word, Excel or any other Office 2013 application), see if uninstalling KB3114717 (followed by a reboot) resolves the "issues."

    Does this also apply the Insider Preview builds update(fast) ? I updated my PC a few hours ago and had to manually delete the package. But after it was deleted , it remained.
