🔒 Closed Word slows everything down

[miltoncline]

Whenever I have Microsoft Word open to read docx documents, it brings the whole system operation to a crawl. Forget about using a browser whenever that program is open; it slows everything down. Any suggestions as to what causes this?

based on what you've said. The cause might be the Microsoft word. I suggest you to download Microsoft word again & reinstall.

Check your OS, seem there is insufficient amount of RAM and runing MS Word will trig swapping, perform some maintenance, cleaning, do FS defragmentation, reduce number background processes, remove bloated and unnecessary features.
