Computer works fine except I can't start any of my Office 365 apps (Word, Excel, PwerPoint, etc.). One Drive working fine. I've restarted my computer several times to no avail.

If reccommended I'll uninstall/re-install Office but I'm hopng there's a simpler solution. I have Office on a second desktop and on a laptop.

Any suggestions?

Have you tried repairing 365 Apps? Go to Settings, Apps, Installed Apps. Search for 365. That should filter the apps list to something reasonable. In the three-dot menu on the right, click Modify. You should get some repair options. Quick repair is, well, quicker, and sometimes all you need. Online repair is more thorough but takes longer.

Good suggestion. No, I hadn't tried the repair. But I just did and restarted my computer. No joy.

I'll try the more thorough option and let it run overnight unless you have other suggestions

My suggestions would be the Online repair or uninstall/reinstall. Someone else may chime in with better options.

If the repair option doesn't work you may have to try the uninstall option as outlined in this article on the MS website.
See under the heading "Repair didn't help. Now what".

I've used this option successfully myself in the past when the Microsoft 365 apps have developed an issue.
