PowerPoint crashes or freezes

Created by Steve Minor, Modified on Thu, 9 Oct at 7:35 AM by Steve Minor

 If PowerPoint crashes or freezes while you are 

working on a presentation, try closing any other programs that are running and 

freeing up memory on your computer. You can also try running a repair on the 

PowerPoint installation by going to the "Control Panel," selecting "Programs and 

Features," and right-clicking on "Microsoft Office" (or "Microsoft 365 Apps") and 

selecting "Change," then "Repair." If the issue persists, try creating a new, blank 

presentation and copying the slides and content from the original presentation 

into the new one.
