16.0.13801.20182 is the problem - either upgrade to 16.0.13801.20288 or downgrade as I wrote below and have been working for 3 days without the error.

This has NOTHING to do with Windows updates.

This is caused by the "Office 16 Click-to-Run Licensing Component" and its latest update to version 16.0.13801.20182 or later.

Rolling back to version 16.0.13530.20528 (aka "Version 2012") will solve the problem.

See below I have been error free since the downgrade after 3/7/21

    Issue is latest Office update - change your update Channel - the monthly “Current” is really a preview. Pitty nobody checks updates prior to release.....

    I have a brand new Dell laptop with the latest Windows and had 0 errors on Reliability History. Working fine.

    Truth is, Microsoft Office 365 ProPlus was working fine for 1 month (received the new laptop 1 month ago) until last night automatically received the update from Version 2101 (Build 13628.20448) to Version 2102 (Build 13801.20266).

    Now, I turn on my computer and have the SAME issue (see below error). The problem is the update. Had the update not occurred, I'd had never known about this error. Your Office is fine and the program just crashed as a result of the update. Likely a one-time item.
