How did it run before Office install?<br />
<br />
Maybe you have more applications running than you know.<br />
<br />
Is this an official Office install or....... &nbsp;?

I’ve been having some issues with my laptop since I have upgraded Microsoft office.<br />
<br />
Laptop (especially word and excel) keep freezing up and sometimes I still can’t open excel documents directly from explorer. Windows keeps asking for my password even when I check the ‘remember my credentials’ box etc<br />
<br />
Its just slow in general, yesterday I restarted a couple of times, done it again this morning and its really slow still opening documents etc.<br />
<br />
I’ll run the virus software just in case but could someone suggest what could be the reason?<br />
<br />
The hardware is more than capable of handling the running application <br />
<br />
Thanks

Windows 8 is a personal computer operating system developed by Microsoft as part of the Windows NT family of operating systems, with an emphasis on improving its user experience on tablets. In particular, these changes included a touch-optimized Windows shell based on Microsoft's "Metro" design language, the Start screen, a new platform for developing apps with an emphasis on touchscreen input, integration with online services, support for USB 3.0, Advanced Format hard drives, near field communications, and cloud computing. Additional security features were introduced, such as built-in antivirus software, integration with Microsoft SmartScreen phishing filtering service and support for UEFI Secure Boot on supported devices with UEFI firmware.
