The Office app for Windows 10

The Office app for Windows 10 is a free app that you can use with your Microsoft 365 subscription, Office 2019 or Office for the web to access all of your apps in one place.  

• Easily switch between apps - See all your apps in one place and switch between them with a single click.

• Quickly get back into your work - Upload files to OneDrive, then pin them so they're easy to get to. Jump to your most recently used documents, and files shared with you—whether they’re on your local device or stored in OneDrive or SharePoint.

• Find what you need faster - With Microsoft Search easily available near the top of the window, you can quickly find the apps, documents, people, and sites you need to get your work done.

Simply open the app from the Start menu, and sign in with your Microsoft account to get started.

Haven't subscribed or purchased Office yet? Not a problem. You can use Office for the web for free to create Word docs, Excel spreadsheets, and PowerPoint decks. The Office app for Windows 10 helps you get to files quickly, and upload files from your computer to the cloud.

If you've already paid for Microsoft 365, you can download and install the apps on all your devices and sign into 5 devices at the same time. 

Why did www.office.com or the Office app open automatically?

The keyboard shortcut combination Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Win opens the Office app or www.office.com. Sometimes existing shortcuts, macros, and even drivers use this same keyboard shortcut combination. If you've relied on the Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Win shortcut to perform other actions in the past, you'll notice that using it launches Office now.
