When I open the Office app, only a white blank screen is displayed. This occurs on my laptop, and suddenly started showing the white screen on my PC as well. I'm running Windows 11 on my laptop and Windows 10 on my PC. I tried repairing it, then resetting Office, but that did not help. All of the apps work as expected like Word and Excel, only the Office app is exhibiting this behavior.

    I have had this same issue for a few days now. I tried to uninstall and re-start twice. I also attempted the repair options. In all scenarios, I re-started the computer but it still kept coming back with a blank white screen. I'm using Windows 11. As others have mentioned on here, I am able to go to previously saved documents, open one of those and then create a new document as a work-around. This also seems to be the case in apps I don't use as much like Access and Publisher.

    Still, it is very frustrating that we pay a lot of money for Microsoft software products and then they are frequently "broken". Microsoft doesn't seem to have any problem finding new ways to bill its consumers, but I highly doubt they will take the courteous, professional, and positive customer service route by offering a partial credit back for those their consumers who paid for this product and must endure these troubleshooting frustrations now. Indeed, it would have ideal for Microsoft to be pro-active to notify its customers of this known software issue, along with the current work around. Apparently Microsoft only wants to be pro-active when it is time for billing.

    I went to the Microsoft Store on 9/7/2022 6:05pm Central Time. I am in the US since that seems to be a common question (location). I updated the Office App and now it opens again with all the apps on the left side.

    I'm having the same issue as many others regarding the blank screen when attempting to open the Office App.

    I've seen solutions for the applications, but can someone tell me how to get to my Outlook email?
