  • Try to replace the Normal template Normal.dotm found in folder C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates. If this doesn't help, uninstall Office again, run the clean uninstall Office tool and reinstall Office.

  • You don't indicate which version Avira Free Antivirus you are running. The fact your previous installation was not a "clean install" does not matter. There is no difference outside between an installation that was upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 and a clean installation of Windows 10.

  • @Ramhound Edited. There is no difference outside between an installation that was upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 and a clean installation of Windows 10. Theoretically true, but perhaps there's some DLL that was installed while the computer was running Windows 8 that enabled this setup to worl; and is no longer necessary under Windows 10, and was therefore not installed this time around.

  • Maybe disabling virus protection isn't enough. Can you try to uninstall Avira, restart pc and open Vba editor after? That could help to decide whether the problem is really related to antivirus. Commented Mar 7, 2019 at 6:19

    I have selectively installed Office before with never a problem, but everything is possible. You could try to install Office with all defaults to verify if this works (only redoing what you already did before is not going to change anything).
