Attempting to insert hyperlink causes excel to shut down

Hi All,

When I try to insert a link in an excel cell, the hyperlink window opens and then Excel closes down (Message: Excel has stopped working). Same thing if I attempt to edit existing link.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I have since tried inserting a hyperlink in a Word doc and the same thing happens (perhaps not surprisingly).

Not had a problem previously; it seems to have happened since upgrading to Office 365/2016.

Any help or thoughts would be much appreciated.

Thanks, xlnitwit.

The repair suggestion did not resolve things but following a link on a post within the thread you highlighted, I discovered that the "God mode" command (.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} was crashing the office software because it appeared 1st in the default document folder. Moving it to within a sub-folder seems to have resolved the issue. Yay!

Thanks, again.
