Hello 

Please i need your help on this issue. 

The newest version of Excel 16.85 is having permission issues with opening encrypted Excel files

I am able to open the file while on 16.84 then when I update to the latest update 16.85 I would get the permissions error so when I uninstalled 16.85 and reinstall 16.84 it would open again.

This is for all encrypted files via Sensitivity labels, the ones that are not encrypted are not affected.

Opening on the web has no issues.

I have Defender for endpoint installed and our devices are managed through Intune.

These files are stored locally on the machine.

The latest version updates are pushed out through Microsoft Auto Updater
