Instead of putting up with this nonsense, I would download the excellent and free Open Office.
Have been using this for years and it has almost all the features of the MS suite with non of the disadvantages. Product description.I'd say it is worth a try.:)
If it works for you then you could delete the MS Office suite, along with its' problems, from your computer and use any e-mail client you prefer.

Open Office IS a very good "product" considering that is IS free, but it is not without it's own quirks and issues.

I have used Open Office and many of the MS Office Suites and there are a few trade offs that do need to be considered.

Open Office does not have many of the "tools" that newer versions of MS Office has, this causes "formating" issues when opening up newer "DOCX" files.

Open Office does not have "Visual Basic" capability, this will affect documents from MS OFFICE that may be VB macro enabled and the VB macros will not be available in Open Office..

Open Office looks and feels and resembles Office 97-2000 so folks who have gotten used to all the "ribbon" garbage will have a difficult time navigating Open Office unless they have used Office 97-2000..

Libra Office is another Free Office type of product, has the same limitations as Open Office but once again, it is free so please don't complain..

Personally, if OP had a valid license for MS Office 2010 or older products, those CAN be installed on Win10, 2007 and older may require the Office "productivity pack" installed to get compatibility to any of the newer "DOCX" formats..

For the record, I do have a copy of Office 2000 installed on Win10 with the productivity pack and it works..
