unable to initialize excel application

Question

unable to initialize excel application

Answer 1

Hi jayantagoswami

Please explain this in more detail, do you get an error when you try to open Excel, and if so, what is the exact error you are seeing

Does Excel open at all, either from its application icon or by double clicking an existing Excel file?

Answer 2

Please try these options one by one and check after each option.

1. Sometimes, add-ins can cause problems. To determine, if add-in is a problem start your application in safe mode and see if problem has gone away.

To start in Safe Mode -

Hold CTRL key and click on application icon and don't release the CTRL key till it asks you for Safe mode confirmation.

If yes, then start application normally and disable add-ins one by one and start application again every time you disable an add-in to determine the culprit add-in.

To disable add-in > File > Options > Add-ins > Down below you have Manage: Com Add-in : Press Go > Untick the Add-ins to disable and tick to enable them

2. Try repairing your office installation (Quick repair is good enough). Try repairing your Office installation. First try Quick Repair (takes 5 - 10 mins) , if that doesn't help then try Online Repair (Takes more than 30 mins but less than 1 hour in general)
