Excel File Windows Always Open TINY

Question

Every time I open an excel file, new or old, it opens in an extremely shrunk window.

Shows only top and bottom application bars with the formula bar sandwiched in between.

All files look like this upon open:

It used to do this in varying sizes intermittently, but now it's always this size.

It's quite annoying, as every file needs to be resized and moved.

Anyone know what's going on?

Hi,

Let’s open Excel in application Safe Mode and check how it works.

To do that, press the ‘Windows + R’ key on the keyboard.

In the Run open box type in ‘Excel /Safe’ and hit ok.

Note: There is a space between excel and /.

If application safe mode works, try disabling the add-ins associated with Office applications and check.

To do that, do the following.

1. Open Excel Click on File and then click on options.
2. In the Options Window click on Add-ins.
3. Select Com Add-ins in the Manage list in the Add-ins section and click Go. Now uncheck the all the add-ins and click Ok.

Hope it helps. Try the suggestions and let us know the result at your earliest convenience.

Thank you.
