Hi,

After a lot of searching, I still cannot explain why all office software crashes when trying to insert a hyperlink when latest creators beta is installed (15060).

The crashes all relate to the same DLL ucrtbase.dll.

As soon as I rollback to actual windows version 14393.953 the issue is non existent.

Thanks for your input

But I use the god-mode all the time!  Windows 10/Office 365 is so incredibly buggy, that god-mode makes it easy to use the available tools there.  Why doesn't windows do that naturally, anyway?

I was unable to send an invoice today, thanks to Excel not working its hyperlinks, perhaps Excel's just atheistic?

Fix it, Microsoft.  Please.  NOW!

Hi,

Just put the God mode fille in a seperate folder rather than leaving it in your docs folder. Then you can use your hyperlinks in Excel.

    i have been experiencing same issues and I just wanted to note, my god-mode link was on my desktop, not in the documents folder.  i created a new folder on my desktop, moved the link into it and have not been having any issues.

    Assuming that you have completely removed the "GOD" folder from your system, completely uninstall/reinstall Microsoft Office on your system and apply all the updates.

    If you are running Windows 10 64 bit, then specifically install the 64 bit version of Office when you do this.

    Good Luck.

    It is impossible not to respond with "My God!!" :-).  Yes, I moved my god-mode folder to the Desktop.  Now Hyperlinks work.  This seems so stupid, somehow, but anyway, I'm glad to have fixed the problem.
