Ensure your computer can access the internet and try again. This is just a terrible error description. The only way to get this change to perform was to switch from user to administration and then the change was successful which just seem to cause downloading of the Excel and Word software the next time I access them.

Repairing Microsoft Office Starter - English was unsuccessful because an internet connection is required. Ensure your computer can access the internet and try again. Snip attached. I am still unable to do a system restore from a restore point. Edited by hamluis, 10 November - PM. Moved from Win 7 to Bus Apps - Hamluis. What you value is your reward.
Then add any security updates and SPs that have been issued for that version. Malware Forum. I considered that but just too hesitant because I have no way to do a system restore if things get worse. It's my understanding that Office is no longer available as a download, so I'd never get back to Office Starter if I uninstalled Microsoft Office I would restart and try it all again.
Restart laptop. Try again to do a system restore; same error. The Internet Connection required to perform a complete repair of Microsoft Office Starter English could not be found, a quick repair was performed while offline. If your problem persists, connect to the Internet and retry repairing. Lo and behold, when it restarted after the restore, there was NO error! I went to a Word doc, clicked Open, and it took a few seconds, but it started to come up and then some notices about "accept these terms" and options for updates I was actually thinking they were trying to slip Windows 10 in on me ,.
I went to Start menu to look at All Programs, and lo and behold, the gold triangle with the exclamation point inside it was on the Shut Down button! So I installed today's updates, restarted, and just reporting that Office Starter is working again, Windows Updates seem to be working again, and system restore may even be working again. This was even worse however - contrary to what Microsoft Community answers say, after uninstalling Office Starter , there is NO option for "use" or "open" Word Starter at Microsoft Office - there is only buy outright or try free for 30 days, and I doubt that even applies anymore.
I would have lost acess to all that work had I not been able to install a paid version of Office Phooey on Microsoft and its corny, mostly unworkable Community answers. For the future, should this problem re-occur, you could try installing Libre Office, a free office suite you can get from here -. It is capable of opening. XLS and. It has its own native file format but you can export back to MS Office type files.
There are occasional formatting problems across the file types but these are getting fewer. Worth a look. Posted 11 November - PM. It's amazing that literally hours of research online did not produce this information or even a hint of it. I have lurked this site for many years but have never posted. I know I should probably start a new thread for this, but I am thinking it is probably not worth the effort, since there doesn't seem to be a solution to this issue. I have a client that has the exact same problem.
In fact, this has happened with a few clients.. However, this current client really wants his program to work again and with all the collateral issues I think it would be better for all involved, especially me..
So, same set of problems, an update apparently didn't finish and the stupid 'repair' program doesn't see the internet connection. Report abuse. Details required :. Cancel Submit. Deepa Raj. Note: Computer must be connected to internet when you perform repair of Office starter.

So, same set of problems, an update apparently didn't finish and the stupid 'repair' program doesn't see the internet connection. I un-installed the starter program and now the click to install program doesn't offer to install the Starter version. Most annoying. Considering how many times I have run into this..
I would not be surprised if this is some gimmick from Microsft to get all the 'Starter' users to purchase Office. I too have researched this exhaustively. So this is my last hurrah so to speak. Any ideas from the community would be appreciated, but please don't assume I am a newbie and ask me to start at square one.
I have outlined the issue, it's the same as jackiemarie's. Oh, one last thing, It did at one time, resume working just like jackiemaries's, then another update took it out again. I have turned off the updates at this time. Not that that would amount to anything since I have un-installed the Starter anyway. Barring a full re-image to factory settings, is there anyway to get this thing to work again?
Posted 31 December - AM. As you can tell, this Business Application forum isn't widely followed. Having so little technical knowledge, I have no suggestions - unless like me, someone has a paid for, earlier version of Windows Office they can install. Also, I attempted to upgrade this HP laptop to Pro using the pre-installed link. Microsoft no longer allows anything but upgrading to Windows 10, from any source Rather predatory in my estimation.
If you come across a solution, please post back to let me know. Good grief, I am having the same problem. It came with the laptop. Posted 06 October - PM. I do understand your frustration; MS really botched things up for those of us who just used Office Starter last year when this mess came up.

I hope my experience can help you! Two days ago I had a situation where the Q drive for the Office Starter Click-to-run got deleted, although it's supposed to be protected! Word Starter and Excel Starter include features for basic authoring and editing, but lack more powerful features like the ability to track comments and changes in your documents; password protect your documents; create tables of contents, footnotes, citations or bibliographies; perform advanced data analysis such as with pivot tables; and the ability to customize the Ribbon and Quick Access Toolbar.
Office Starter has the same file support as full Office You will be able to easily send documents back and forth from Office Starter to other people using the full versions of Word and Excel and vice versa.
Starter provides full fidelity viewing, so people who are using Office Starter will still be able to see features that are not included in Office Starter. Download Certified Similar to 3.
Microsoft Office Starter Download. Last updated:. However, today every time I try to launch the programme I get an error message "Internet connection was lost. Check connection and try again". Obviously, there is nothing wrong with my internet connection as I have been able to send you this query.
