Windows 10 Missing Microsoft Word in the 'New' column

[helloween961]

Hi,

I wanted to create a new Microsoft Word document on desktop but found that the MS word icon was missing in the 'New' column. Why is it that and how can I recover the icon?

Thank you very much for your help

Go into Control Panel > Programs and Features and repair Office, that should fix it.

I tried it, but it didn't work...

Does this help? Choose Windows10 and watch the video.

I can find the MS Office apps in the Start of Windows 10, but I just can't find it in the New Column (as shown in the attached image). Thanks for your help.

Hmm... Did you recently install Office and if so is it activated?

No, I installed it last year. But I've succeeded in restoring the MS Word icon in the context menu by installing New Menu Editor. Thanks very much for your help.
