Any advice appreciated here - we use SharePoint at work (I know, I know) which was fine up to December 2019 but now in January there is an issue that Word files can't be opened in the desktop app from SharePoint. It just keeps repeatedly asking for a user's SharePoint credentials (which they have already entered to get to this point). The files open OK for editing in the browser app from SharePoint, but the browser app has reduced functionality.
There is a workaround as you can download the file from SharePoint, then open in and make changes using the desktop app, then reupload it back to SharePoint. But it's very long-winded considering previously you could just open in the desktop app directly from SharePoint, and any changes could be saved directly.
