Powerpoint has stopped working. You can do that
If PowerPoint reports the error that the software no longer works, this can have a variety of causes. We'll show you how to solve the problem.
PowerPoint has stopped working. It can help
- Restart: First switch your computer completely off and on again. Temporary errors are deleted. In some cases this can already solve the problem.
- Updates: Let your computer also check for updates. If new updates are available, installing them can also help. Instructions for Windows updates can be found here.
- Repair: If the instructions in the next paragraph do not help, you should reinstall PowerPoint. To do this, start the uninstallation and then select the repair.
PowerPoint no longer works: Deactivate add-ins
In PowerPoint, several programs often nest in the form of add-ins. If these are incorrect, serious errors can occur.
- Safe mode: Simultaneously press the [Windows] and [R] keys so that the "Execute" command opens. Enter "powerpnt / safe" here and confirm with "OK". Then PowerPoint starts in safe mode.
- Turn off add-ins: In this safe mode, no add-ins are loaded. If the program works now, an add-in is causing the problem. For now, deactivate all add-ins so that you can correctly identify the culprit.
