Microsoft Word 2010 documents automatically convert into docx. files PROBLEM
HELP! All of a sudden all my regular Microsoft Word Starter 2010 documents are converted to docx. files, and my computer cannot open them! Nor can i open a regular file from the internet, as my computer converts these as well. What do I do?
Word 2010 documents are .docx files by default. I suspect that you are experiencing a problem caused by the current round of updates, which seems to have destroyed the file associations for Office apps. To correct the problem, right-click on one of these
files and choose Open With, then Choose Default Program. Select "Microsoft Client Virtualization Handler." This should correct the problem.
