Thanks for the help anyway. I doh't think it's anything to do with my security or antivirus, etc programs. Nothing was changed except those 3 Windows Updates were installed and this problem showed up instantly.
I guess I'll see if Microsoft has a fix in a day or two, and if not I'll probably just do a Restore back to the point right before the updates that caused this were installed.
Still would like to know if just Uninstalling each update manually one at a time is a better way to go ... anyone know ???

Where did you originally get Office 2013? If it was a disc, can you just reinstall it?

I've got an installation disk. But doing the full blown Repair looks like it's basically a fresh install & update.
I really don't think it's an Office 2013 issue since some of the programs like Access and Publisher do open up and work.
Guess I need to manually delete the updates and see what happens. Wish someone would respond on if that's a safe thing to do, or is using the Restore point a safer way to go?

Use your installation disk and reinstall it.
Update on trying to resolve this. I tried to reinstall Office 2013 from the backup disk and that didn't help.
So I disabled my Malwarebytes Premium and Bitdefender Free, and that did allow Excel, Word and PowerPoint did start working. I enabled Bitdefender Free and they did not work and I got the same error messages as before. So it looks like it's a Bitdefender Free issue, and apparently it's not compatible anymore after the latest Windows Updates were installed.
I sent a message to Bitdefender Tech to let them know ... maybe they will try to push a fix out. If not, I guess it's time to look for another real time free anti-virus program ... or pay for a good full blown one.

Thanks for the tip ... I'll look for that. A year or two ago I picked up Malwarebytes Premium (the full blow, real time protection version) for $15 with a lifetime license (no annual payments, just the initial $15 to purchase the disc).

Forgot to mention, when I reinstalled Office 2013 from the backup DVD, I didn't uninstall Office first. I put the DVD in the drive to just see what was on the disc and was going to uninstall before proceeding with a re-installation, But when I simply clicked on it to open the disc, it started the installation. So I just let it finish and it seemed to do the install fine with no error messages and it seems to be working fine. I wasn't sure what it was going to do without uninstalling Office first, but seemed to work out fine. The version on the DVD was pretty old version, so after it installed I just did an Office update which worked with not issues.
