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.

    Yes, I can also confirm this behaviour. The god mode shortcut is the culprit. I do somewhat understand why the god-mode functionality is the problem from a programming standpoint, but this is still a bug and should be fixed as it is undesired behaviour. Thanks Zardoc!

    Thank you Zardoc for this fix. I had a user who must've enabled "God Mode" without remembering doing so... he created the folder in the desktop but after deleting the file the issue no longer happened. Wish I would've done this before reinstalling Office lol.

    Thank you Zardoc that worked for me with MS Office 2007 on Windows 10 Home and Creators Update 1703 updated on Dell Inspiron 545 originally running Windows 7.

    Brilliant software forensics!

    Puts Microsoft to shame.
