Installed Windows 10, now Word Opens and then closes immediately

When I installed Windows 10 my screen flashed constantly. Rectified that by disabling "Problem Reports and Solution Control Panel" and "Windows Error Reporting Service". But now when I tried to open my "Word" it just opens and then immediately closes.

You mean Microsoft Office Word? This forum is for Mozilla software such as the Firefox browser and the Thunderbird email software.

While we aren't very knowledgeable about Office apps, I did find a Microsoft article on doing a "repair" that might help:

If you continue to have the same issue, I suggest using Microsoft's support options: https://support.office.com/
