Frequently asked questions

What causes Office Error 0-1005?

Will I lose my documents?
No. Your Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files are stored in your Documents folder or OneDrive and are completely separate from the Office application installation.
How do I fix Office Error 0-1005?
Temporarily disable antivirus real-time protection and retry the installation. If that doesn't work, download and run the Microsoft Office Deployment Tool to install Office offline, which avoids the streaming download that triggers this error.
