Why do Word & PowerPoint crash seconds after opening any file? I have a problem with Office 365 on my new MacBook Air (2022 - OS 13.4 (22F66) - Chip Apple M2). Outlook and Teams work, but Word and PowerPoint crash a few seconds after I try to open any file. In the beginning, everything was working, then suddenly this problem appeared. I run a check with EtreCheck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

MacBook Pro M1 apps (Safari, Slack, Trello, Apple Mail, Adobe CC) keep quitting unexpectedly all the time I purchased a MacBook Pro with M1 chip (MacBook Pro (13-inch, M1, 2020)) a couple weeks ago. I did a clean install. I mostly use Safari, Slack, Trello, Apple Mail and Adobe CC apps. They keep crashing all the time - mostly when I am writing something. Slack crashes as I write messages, Apple Mail crashes when I write e-mails. Safari crashed THREE TIMES as I was writing this text. When it works, it works great, but then all of a sudden those apps just crash as I write any text. Each time, I also get the "___ quit unexpectedly" screen, and it has a huge amount of text in the report. Is there any solution for this? Thanks.

I would suggest you download the full installer then reinstall Mojave.

Get MacOS Mojave now from the Mac App Store
