Did you try using the arrow keys to navigate the entire list of results? It's not clear, but there are likely more than four results, and it's possible one of the later ones is Word.

I navigated all the way through the list and none of them returned Word. Tried with Excel, Powerpoint and Outlook too and none of these returned. _Powerpoint_ returns 1 result but this isn't it.

The same for me, Microsoft 365 apps installed from Microsoft Store

Closing this in favor of #3223

@BenConstable9 what's the path location of your office app?

@BenConstable9 what's the path location of your office app?

I installed it from the Microsoft Store about a year ago.

I鈥檝e switched laptops since I added this so I don鈥檛 know the path and haven鈥檛 got round to reinstalling office yet. Will post again here if still an issue.

@jyuwono I cannot find the path location to the office applications anywhere. This is a brand new Windows 10 install using the Office applications already downloaded on the Windows ISO that came with the laptop but they will not show up in PT Run.

Windows 2004, PowerToys 0.19, Office installed via Microsoft Store, Word, Excel, PowerPoint will not show up in the Search. I deleted %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\PowerToys still not showing up (but the missing icons of App from the Store are now back). Worked with PowerToys 0.18

I am also having this issue with simple things like trying to launch a command prompt, where neither cmd or powershell returns those applications as a result

Still having this issue with Powertoys 0.21.1 - none of the traditional office apps (installed from the store) are showing up at all. Teams _does_, as does Onenote for Windows 10, but Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Access, and Outlook are not found.
