Never underestimate boomer computer abilities.

Just had a call from an acquaintance who I previously told to google how to "quick repair" a non-starting Word.
12:14
< abudhabi>
He uninstalled it instead.

My working theory based solely on that: quick repair is part of the uninstaller (one of those "do you want to [ ] repair the program installation [ ] uninstall the program" deals MS is fond of) and he blindly clicked "next" until it went away

AAR: It is unclear to me if he actually uninstalled it, because he called me in to reinstall it, and it was installed already.

What turned out to be the problem is having an external monitor connected, but turned off.

< abudhabi>
Word was launching in the turned off monitor.
