I had to Google Microsoft 365 to see the details - turns out it is a subscription service that "ensures you always have the most up-to-date modern productivity tools" from Microsoft. I suspect that is where the problem lies, too many updates and new features. I've been using WF Classic for a long time, and, for example, wasn't able to use it with Excel files with any MS Office versions after 2010. For this reason, I now keep a backup computer with a 2010 version of office installed on it so that I can continue to work with Excel files.
