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'm not surprised.  Maybe that's why they took away the shortcut to the Control Panel from the Start button right-click menu.

    I'm surprised they haven't found a way to make the keyboard sting our fingers as we type!

    Be VERY CAREFUL, the MS office "change" correction in the "Programs & Features" part of the Control Panel as on my machine it TOTALLY removed Office and I had to do a complete reinstall and all the related issues.

    Oh, Dear Zardoc,

    Thank you, thank you, thank YOU!!!

    Hey everybody: Zardoc's advice worked for me!  (Win10 Pro 1703 that I built, Intel Core 15-6500

    Now I wish he were with me as I try to:

    Make scrolling from photo-to-photo on my Iphone's DCIM folder work again,

    Find the autotext entries I worked for years to amass on my Office programs (no thanks, Office 365) and

    Show My Personal Templates in detail view when I click New Document!  Oh well, that would require smart Microsoft interaction, and I've learned that that is not something I should expect.  

    But Zardoc!  You are my hero today!!!  ...And you're a brilliant genius!  Thank you!
