I had the same problem and tried all the examples above and nothing helped.

What worked for me was removing my AVG PCTune-up program I installed a few weeks back. As soon as I removed it all my MS-Office products starting working fine without that annoying error message.

The strange thing is I did not have this issue when I installed the Tune-up program. Only after installing the latest Windows 10 updates. It appears that AVG does not come out with a new patch/update fast enough to keep up with Microsoft Windows 10 updates or Microsoft doesn’t take into account how their updates will affect AVG PCTune-up. Either way removing the AVG PCTune-up program instantly fixed my problem.

In reply to zencodex. This is the one. Spent 5 days on this, nothing worked. Thank you! To Microsoft: Office 2013 is more rubbish than Windows 8 was, and that's saying something.
