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.

A mi me ocurrió lo mismo, y lo que funcionó al menos para mi, fue ir a la aplicación, pulsar en "obtener información" y marcar la casilla que dice "iniciar *** rosetta". Ahí nuevamente lo abrí y funciona sin problemas.

That most likely indicates you have some other third party software installed which is causing a problem. The usual culprits for interfering with the normal operations of macOS are:
None of these types of apps are needed on a Mac. Uninstall them by following their developer's instructions.

Interesting...
be more interesting to know the exact version of these microsoft apps you are running.
MS 365 is running fine on my M4 Pro MacBook Pro under macOS 26 Tahoe. I was running 16.100.4 initially and updated (via Microsoft Auto Update) to 16.101. There was a minor issue reported by someone else on this board that was resolved by that update.
Thus, this does not appear to be an issue with macOS. You might try your question on the Microsoft Forums:

Yes, this is what worked for me as well. Tried Safe Mode, and many other things. but running the updater files from the site you listed did the trick!
Except for Word. The updater did not work for that so I deleted the application, downloaded and installed it again, and as soon as I did the Microsoft AutoUpdate app started and recognized that the app needed to be updated. Got the update, and I'm good to go.
Thanks for your good advice!
No problems and all my Office apps received updates yesterday. Are you sure you are running the very latest versions?
No problems at all for me.
Why did you feel the need to purchase a new subscription?
I have found that the App Store versions of the 365 apps tend to be more stable, not to mention much cleaner to update, than the versions downloaded directly from Microsoft.
Sure there is. Open the Applications folder (in Finder), select an app, then press Command-I (shortcut for File menu > Get Info).
I thought a new subscription was the way around it initially, obviously not. I have the working apps, but if I do the updates then they stop working so I have to uninstall and back to square 1...
Go to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/officeupdates/update-history-office-for-mac and use microsoft's current updates. I had the same problem until I found this site. It will open the program and documents but there may be a note at the top that you need to "activate" it. If so, go to your microsoft account, click on your previous purchases and it should reactivate.
I have run Office 2021 for Mac Home and Business and now Office 2024 Home on my M4 Mac Mini Pro with Tahoe 26.0.1 and I have absolutely no issues with these applications or their licensing.
Current application versions are 16.102.1.
Zelfde probleem hier. Ben er we een beetje zat van dat de updates zo slecht zijn dat er vaak iets stuk gaat. Tijdje geleden pakte MS Outlook na een update van Apple opeens de automatische adressering niet meer. Meer dan een dag tijd verloren!! Drie dagen later kwam er een nieuwe update waardoor het wel weer vanzelf werkte. Fout zit dus duidelijk bij Apple.
