Word, PowerPoint files cannot open from the share " Access Denied"



When trying to open Word file or PowerPoint file from the network share it shows "Access Denied" error.

There are many reasons for this. Following are the solutions I found.


If the office installed before the PC joined to the domain, then you must uninstall the office and reinstall it.

If the situation is different try following options


Option 1

Turn off the network discovery in computer

Manually map the share


Option 2

Add the network location to the trusted locations of the app

If it is word then go to  

File > 

Options > 

Trust Center > 

Trust Center Settings > 

Trusted Locations > 

Add New Location

And then add the share path


Option 3

Re-Create the user profile


Option 4

Uninstall the office

Delete the registry entries related to the office

Update the windows

Clear the credentials manager for share drive access credentials

Reboot the computer

Re-install office


I will update this article if I found additional options.

How to turn off or disable Cortana briefing emails in office 365

Photo by Patrick Amoy on Unsplash

Tried to identify a solution for this and there are two options for this.

User Level

Users can simply click on the unsubscribe link on that email and then follow the steps to prevent receiving Cortana briefing emails in future

Organization Level

Couldn't find any official suggestion for this. But the following method works.

  • Login to the office 365 admin center
  • Settings > Org Settings > Briefing emails
  • Uncheck the box for "Let people in your organization receive email briefing.....,"


Please suggest if you have any other solution
