Dear all,

there seems to be a problem since build 2607 with PowerPoint.

I have an Add-In to poll Feedback from Audience using Keypads. Up to Version 2607 it was working flawless. But now it crashes on the second or latest on the third question. I can verify that this is a PowerPoint Issue and not something wrong with the Software itself, as it's working ever since and the moment i go back to the Version (Version 2606 (Build 20131.20154) it is working again, whilst the first Version of Version 2607 (Build 20228.20110) is not working.

Using a different PC with the latest Version (20028.20190) on a German PC work. We also got the same Feedback from customers that have Office 2024 with Build 20124 and click to run of 20158. For most it seems to work, for some not.

    Hi @Martin Wollmann,

    Based on the information you've shared, I'd like to offer a few suggestions and observations.

    From your description and my initial assessment of the behavior, this looks like a regression issue introduced in Version 2607, affecting the interaction between PowerPoint and the polling add-in.

    As you've already identified a workable workaround, I recommend pausing automatic updates and keeping affected devices on Build 2606 (20131.20154) for users who depend on the polling add-in. This can be managed through your update channel settings or IT deployment tools such as ODT or Group Policy.

    I'd also suggest submitting feedback directly from PowerPoint via: Help > Feedback > Report a problem.

    This helps get the issue in front of the Microsoft product team for further investigation.

    In parallel, please reach out to the add-in vendor. Since the crash log shows ModuleName: unknown, it's worth asking them to verify compatibility with any API or platform changes introduced in Version 2607. The final fix may require updates from either Microsoft, the add-in provider, or both.

    Thank you again for taking the time to share your findings.
