- Observed behavior
- Setup stops around 60 percent, displays a Something went wrong message, and reports installation error 30010-4.

Remove Office with the Microsoft removal tool and restart before reinstalling
Use this when the Office installer consistently stops at 60 percent and reports 30010-4; a clean removal and restart are the most reliable fix.
The error is usually caused by leftover Office installation files or a stuck Click-to-Run process. Removing Office completely and restarting the computer clears the failed installation state before you run setup again.
Go to the official Microsoft support site for removing Office, download the Microsoft Support and Recovery Assistant or the Office removal tool, and run it as administrator.
Select Microsoft Office Home and Student 2019 in the tool, confirm the removal, and wait for the tool to finish uninstalling all Office components.
Click Start > Power > Restart. Do not use Shut down and power back on, because a full restart clears more installer state.
After restart, press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager, go to Processes or Details, right-click OneClickOffice, and choose End task.
Sign in to your Microsoft account at office.com, open Services & subscriptions, find Office Home and Student 2019, and click Install to run the installer again.
Repair Windows component store with DISM and check antivirus
Use this if the clean removal and reinstall still fail or if the error returns during Windows updates.
End OneClickOffice and retry the Office installer
Use this first if you have not removed Office yet and the installer just failed once.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Office Home and Student 2019 show error 30010-4 at 60 percent?
The 30010-4 error usually indicates that Office installation files are incomplete, a Click-to-Run process such as OneClickOffice is stuck, or security software is blocking the installer. A full removal and restart often clears the failed state.
Do I need to restart or shut down after running the Microsoft removal tool?
Restart. Click Start > Power > Restart instead of Shut down. A full restart clears more installer state and is a key step before reinstalling Office.
Should I end OneClickOffice before reinstalling Office?
Yes. Open Task Manager, find OneClickOffice under Processes or Details, right-click it, and choose End task. This prevents the stuck process from interfering with the new installation.
Does DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth fix Office error 30010-4?
It can help if the error is related to a corrupted Windows component store. Run Command Prompt as administrator, enter the DISM command, and wait for it to complete before retrying Office setup.
What can I use if Office Home and Student 2019 still will not install?
You can use WPS Office as a free alternative. It opens and saves .docx, .xlsx, and .pptx files, has a familiar ribbon interface, and avoids the Microsoft Office installer error 30010-4.
