Error message when opening word doc: "Not Implemented" (Word for Windows)

Hi,

When I try to access a word doc from the folder, after clicking on it an error appears that only says "Not Implemented".

I have restarted and updated my computer and used the repair function for Microsoft word, but to no avail. I am fortunately able to access the document by first opening word then opening the document that way, but I would like to simply find the file I am looking for and open it that way. 

Thank you for your help.

    All, I have the same issue but I know from experience that my problem is related to TeamViewer.  TeamViewer is a remote access application which I have to run from time to time to connect to remote client computers.  (www.teamviewer.com).

    Without fail, if I run Teamviewer, i can no longer double-click to open most microsoft office files that have .***x extensions  (docx, xlsx, etc) without getting the "Not Implemented" error.

    I can still open these files by opening the application (ie, MS Word) and then use the File -> Open within the application to open the file.

    If I reboot the computer, the problem goes away until then next time I run teamviewer.  For the record, we use Teamviewer version 11.

    If this helps anyone narrow down what the root problem is, I, and a lot of others, would be grateful!

    One other thing that might be of interest: so far as I can determine, it's only Office suite applications: Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint.  Other apps (.pdf, video and picture files), no problem.

    I'm having the same problem, as well.  But only on one machine (we have several), and I can't figure out the difference between them.  This started happening AFTER a forced Microsoft Windows 10 update.  Given the number of people with the issue here, Microsoft needs to take ownership and FIX this.
