Is there a dump file mentioned in the window? If so, can you provide it to us?

There's no dump file. I think I found the cause for this issue. I have installed some MS Office add-ins. If I close all protection of avast or deactivate all the add-ins, Office works well. Is that a bug?

Add-ins I installed is from https://www.extendoffice.com/

By the way, why is the Captcha in this forum so hard to read?  :'(

@  Bertha Liao
The Captcha is an anti spam measure and has to be difficult to combat spam bots.

Hi Bertha Liao,
can you try to download procdump tools from (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/procdump)
and start word under debugger with following cmd line :
 procdump.exe -accepteual -e -l -x c:\temp\dmp "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\WINWORD.EXE"

Please change these parameters to fit your settings :
-x c:\temp\dmp - path where you want to store dumps 
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\WINWORD.EXE" - my path to winword.exe

Hmm, seems like the addins have some kind of "copy protection" which prevents the troubleshooting.
Can you please try (without procdump) to simulate the problem again and when the error window (shown in the first post) is open, check the Task Manager if the winword.exe process is still there - and if so, rightclick it and choose "Create dump file"?

After compression, the zip format of the dump file is about 113MB. How to provide it to you?

Can you please upload it, under a unique name, to ftp://ftp.avast.com/incoming - and post the name here?
(Note that there are no read or list rights in that folder.)

Hi,
may I ask you to do test. Disable Behavioral shield and try to start the failing application again.
Please let me know if it helped.

I'll test it later and have a new problem about Outlook. After upgrading avast, the window below shows up after starting Outlook.

Ok I will forward it but it would be better to  solve it in different thread.
