    Something tells me this was already done but, did you try a clean install? Clean as in uninstalling Office but also clearing any remains that comes with it. Try it with this tool from Micro$oft or BCUninstaller/Bulk Crap Uninstaller (FOSS).

    If you use BCUninstaller, you wanna use the “Leftover removal” (it appears after uninstalling an app through BCUninstaller) but you also want to be careful with some of the registries, thankfully it asks if you want to do a system recovery backup.

    Afterwards, install like how you would and proceed to do the usual

    Also, try not to have a Microsoft account linked to your PC (I assume you’re using Windows 10) as that likely triggers the issue

    If all else fails, then im not sure what to say as this is the first I’ve heard of this issue
