    Dear List

    I have problems with my office products that I use for work.

    They worked fine until a few days ago.

    First my outlook stopped updating (it had a panel saying it couldn't connect and needed a password but no option to enter one.

    My company IT has tried to fix it by reinstalling office, largely by signing me out of office,  but now its worse. I can't sign into products via my company email anymore.

    I get an error "Your computer's Trusted Platform Module has malfunctioned .. error code 80090016" so Word and other office products now say "they are unlicensed" and I can't edit or produce documents

    I can only use teams and outlook via the browser and they are very slow.

    My IT help says I have a chip problem I need to get fixed but I'm not certain what it is. They only give limited help as I use my own laptop for work.

    I'm not very knwoledgeable on computers

    many thanks for any advice
