Hi @Aarav Singh
I need more information for better analysis:

• Is there any error message when this issue occurs?
• Can embedded objects of other formats be opened, such as Word document?
• May I ask what version of Office you are using and what is the Windows system version number?
• Were any changes made before the issue occurred? For example, install third-party COM add-ins, update Windows, etc.
• Do all embedded Excel workbooks have this issue when you open them, or is it a specific Excel file?
• Is there an external monitor connected to the computer?

I suggest you open the Excel application first, and then try to open the embedded Excel file from the presentation.

Besides, please perform an Online Repair for your Office.
