Microsoft Office 365 does not work with macOS 26

Just updated my M3 MacBook Pro max to the new Tahoe - but now none of my Microsoft apps (Word, Excel etc fail to work). I've since binned these, re-purchased a new 365 subscription today and downloaded / installed and updated all apps, but no - they quit as soon as I open them. Anyone else having this? Currently I'm stuck..

I had the same issue. I contacted apple support, here was their solution: Restart Mac in Safe Mode, relaunch the Apps. If trouble free, then restart again in Normal mode. Safe mode clears the caches and performs systems checks that seems to have resolved the problem for me.
