After a Windows update 11/03/2021, I can no longer open Word or Excel attachments in MS Outlook. I can open Word documents and Excel spreadsheets on my own laptop and on my phone. I can open PDF and JPG.

Hello, my name is Gaston, I am an independent consultant.

Check if your documents have protected view enabled.

Open an Office application.
Then go to File.
In this window select Options, then Trust Center, then Trust Center Settings and finally Protected View.

In this part you disable the Protected View options.

Then check if you can already attach the files.


Kind regards.
