Here's (possibly) some helpful info.
I have a client that I upgraded from Win7 to 10, and he uses Excel a
LOT. There's a website that he goes to and they have a link he clicks
that downloads a collection of data that is autoloaded from the browser
into Excel. Well, after working for years with Win7, now with Win10 he
clicks and the web page opens Excel, but there's no data.
I haven't solved the problem yet, but I suspect that a registry link
that connects data types (i.e., CSV) is no longer there or it's broken.
So, I'm going to uninstall and reinstall Office on Win10 to see if that
solves the linkage problem.
My point being that your app was probably depending on some connection
provided by the registry (provided by the installation of Word) that is
now broken.
Hope that helps somehow.

So I have used this approach for 20 years and it has always worked
My client prepares an invoice using Word
The file is "INV"+alltrim(str(invnum))+".DOC"
E.g. INV12345.DOC
The system says
append general rtfgen from &newfile LINK
It is then easy to print this on the report
It seems this no longer works with Win10
My thoughts at this time are to no longer store the data in a General
field, and to print the DOC file as part of the report.
BUT, I can't figure how to do that.
I can print pictures, BMP's, Gif's etc, but not a Doc file
Can anyone throw some light on this, or offer some suggestions?
