Hyperlink insert crashes Office 2016 & Windows 10 Creators Update

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.

    Zardoc - Thanks. I moved the God Mode and it works like as charm. A simple fix with 3 minutes to read your post and one minute to move the file.....unfortunately I spent the better part of 3 days with two level 1s, two level 2s and a level 3 that was a total prima donna.....all of them did the same things every time even though I stressed it would not work. The Level 3 wanted to remove and completely reinstall Windows - requiring a total reload of all my other software and files (I an a user and not a skilled IT professional like you guys) and I told him NO and refused to deal with him or anyone else from MS for that matter. Figured a smart person somewhere would eventually figure it out.

    I Hope you share this with their "experts" as MS has become so large they cannot stoop to deal with the problems of regular guys like me.
