What happens if you click 'Open Word' in the dialog in the last screenshot.
Best wishes,

That's strange, I don't understand why that wouldn't work.

hi
one document in word online that i want to open in Ms Word Desktop
i think i found a solution for this problem, in File --> Option, Save -->Cache Setting -->Checked "Delete file...."then "Delete cached files"
i don't know why? or the other solution more effectively ?

after that, document in Word Online can open in Word Desktop

Perhaps the cached file had become corrupt. By clearing the cache, you forced a new version to be created.
