2010 student MSOffice

I've been using it for a long time. Yesterday or the day before, I got a notice that it's deprecated. Then, yesterday, I was updating inventory in Excel and it kept crashing. I restarted and a Windows update installed, but still Excel crashed. I ran chkdsk, but it continued to crash. Another update this morning and it crashed repeatedly. I opened the file in Open Office, no problems. Did MS deliberately make that Office unstable???

I've been using computers since around 1978, started learning programming in 1980 on Apple IIs, started learning about hardware in 1990, ran a BBS from 1990-95, built my first Windows PC around 2000, taught myself malware removal starting in 2005 (also learned on Bleeping Computer), learned web dev starting in 2017, and I think I can fill a thimble with all that knowledge. 😉 I'm not an expert, which is why I keep investigating the answers that others give to try and improve my knowledge, so feel free to double-check the advice I give.

My phone's auto-correct is named Otto Rong.🤪😂

I had crashing 2003 Excel as well, just after a certain point it was not working anymore on Windows 10.  Yet my cousin still uses that version on both 10 and 11.  I have a feeling it's some change on the system that causes this, and not necessarily on all machines/installations.

 

I don't use Excel a lot so out of laziness I use Google Sheets now.

This post has been ninja-edited while you weren't looking.

 

I'm a used parts bottom feeder.  Your loss is my gain.

 

I like people who tell good RGB jokes.

What confused me is that I hadn't noticed any updates for days or weeks before yesterday... that's why I thought the file was corrupted.
