[FIX] Office Ran Into A Problem Because Its System Service Is Disabled

Doesn’t work. I tried both your solutions.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t work.

doesn’t work for me either

office tells that the service doesn’t work even if Office Source Engine runs.

Fix 1 = Fix 2 = Don’t work

NOPE. And FYI … I HATE MICROSOFT!!!

Doesn’t work for me too… any other solution?

Doesn’t work for me, either.

Windows Key + R;
type in services.msc and then press the enter key;
Find Microsoft Office Click-to-Run Service;
Double click and set to automatic

Jerry you’re the man

I believe the issue caused by mostly optimization application or some scripts that disable a lot of stuff in windows 10 to make it faster

anyway as Jerry have said, the issue is in [ Microsoft Office Click-to-Run Service ] even if you are using the professional edition, this service should stay on as well.
To check and run the service, you should do either of the follow:
Method 1:
1) Windows Key + R, and type : services.msc
2) Find and allocate Microsoft Office Click-to-Run Service, right click and start
3) Run word as a test to make sure it’s working
IF NOT processed
4) in the service list, find [ Office Source Engine ], double click on it and change it’s startup type into Manual then start the service
————Note: if you have installed a 64 bit office, service name is [ Office 64 Source Engine ]
5) Go to Control Panel –> Program and Features –> Click on Microsoft Office and Press on Change button, try with local repair, if didn’t work you can work with online repair if using 365

Method 2:
1) Start Menu, and find Cmd, Right click run as administrator
2) net start ClickToRunSvc
3) Run word as a test to make sure it’s working
IF NOT processed
4) net start ose (for 64 office, use net start ose64)
5) Go to Control Panel –> Program and Features –> Click on Microsoft Office and Press on Change button, try with local repair, if didn’t work you can work with online repair if using 365

Good Luck

Nope – still doesn’t work – – – office validator.dll failed to load

I don’t have a Services entry named ‘Office Source’ or ‘Office 64 Source Engine.’ Secondly, when I ran the other option for the .DLL, it told me it wasn’t installed. That means the 11 hrs. I spent letting the ‘You’ve got a problem, but I’ll run again in a minute’ was wasted. Even the Office directory was larger, Word was showing when it wasn’t before, which is why I let it run. However, one day later, it’s still acting as if it’s not loaded. I’ve used the Microsoft Utility to remove and start over twice; that’s why this time, I wanted to make it work. Unfortunately, that’s not what happened. I have a Dell laptop, 8 GB RAM, 1T HD, etc. etc. More than enough to work right…

Both Office Source Engine and Click to Run are showing but as “failed to read description. Error code: 2”, and when I double click, I get an error message. When trying to “start the service” on the left hand side, I get error code 3 that they can’t read the path. Office used to run beautifully on my Windows 10 laptop, until a week ago.

Thanks Kapil , worked perfectly wish i could buy you a drink …

This seems awfully complex for an Office 365 Home user. Doesn’t Microsoft have an easier simpler solution? Office 365 worked fine for first two months, but then started this error problem. Part of Office 365 install routine was to first remove all older copes of Office which I owned. Now I have no Office apps that works. Any simple ideas?

I found after all of that it did not work either but then I looked at other MS services such as Click To Run and Diagnostics and found when I restarted/re-enabled these it fixed the problem. Thank you all..

Jerry, you’re the man!

Jerry you the man!!!!

Thank you Jerry! Half of my dissertation almost dissappeared!

This worked for me. Thank you Jerry.

Hi I’m new at this but I managed to fixed this, when ever you have a program that clean your pc for example Avast Start-up in my case I told it to let every beck ground programs be put to sleep when I disabled it mine worked after again don’t know it works but it did for me.

Thank Your Jerry
