How to solve error Word does not respond, hangs or freezes

Microsoft Word is one of the most well-known and used applications by us for everything related to word processing thanks to its different integrated functions and features that allow complete management and work not only on the text but on each of the compatible elements. , but it can happen that when opening Word certain errors are generated that affect the operation such as unexpected closings, crashes or freezing of the application..

 

When these errors occur we may experience Word Not Responding, Hangs, Freezes and Doesn't Work and we can't find the reason. The cause of these errors many times, or in a high percentage, is given by Word itself, but TechnoWikis has a solution for this error if it occurs at any time.
