If you have been affected by the crashing issue on your Microsoft 365 apps while spell-checking or typing a text, Microsoft has now released a workaround for you.
Many users of Microsoft 365 apps such as Excel, Outlook, Word, OneNote and PowerPoint have been affected by the error code 0xc0000005. According to Microsoft, the problem is with the language packs installed in the system. If the version is not updated, it will cause the error after updating the apps.

Fortunately, Microsoft released some workarounds for affected users. First, they can do an online repair of the Office 365 apps. Second, they need to reinstall the problematic language pack. Lastly, uninstall older MSI versions of the language.
