Thank you for the suggested fix that worked for me.

It's was partly Edwin's suggestion, but also I had to delete the whole of the .docx key in the registry. See below. Regedit HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and go to the item that is missing. (e.g. .docx) Delete the whole key. That is .docx and everything in it. Run the Quick repair on Office. Restart the...

Problem solved.

I visited numerous forums/YouTube for fixes. None of them worked, including your suggestion. Thanks anyway.

I recently upgraded to Windows 11 Pro, and found that when right clicking on the desktop, then clicking on 'New', the usual apps like notepad, Rich Text Document, (the latter is actually not installed, as in pic), and Word, are missing. How do I restore the default apps. On windows 10, I never...

Actually, your first suggestion worked somehow, where it didn't first time round (turning on 'lock'screen', and changing the Welcome screen wallpaper'. It gets so confusing how Microsoft does things. Perhaps one day I'll join this 11 forum. I tried Win 11 various times, but couldn't get the...

Thanks, but none of them helped. The second link was the closest, but it only suggests how to turn on or off the lock screen background, or Welcome screen (gets a bit confusing, I know). What I want is to change it.

I hang on for a while.

Yes, I can change the wallpaper but that's only for the desktop.

I got the page you suggested.

Yes, Someone else suggested the same, and I replied. Thanks anyway.

Hi antspants, I tried that, but it changes my main desktop wallpaper, which I don't want. However, I've not gone all the way, and restart Windows to find out if the Welcome screen has changed too. I'll try that anyway, and I can always change the desktop pic. However, I do not wish to have a...

Thank you for the link.
