Excel toolbar not displayed

Dear community,

yesterday I started Excel and found Excel not showing the toolbar correctly.

All icons and most of the text is missing in the toolbar (red rectangle in the picture below).

Other office applications like word and outlook do not show this behavior.

What I tried to solve the problem:

  1. create a new Excel file
  2. restart the PC
  3. repair office365
  4. reinstall office365

Excel is not usable for me with this missing toolbar.

I hope there is someone who can help with this problem.

Thank you in advance!

Greetings from Germany,

Manuel.

    Try This

    In Excel, go to File - Options

    On the left, click Advanced

    On the right, scroll down to the Display section

    Turn on the option to 'Disable Hardware graphics acceleration'

    Save that setting and restart Excel

    Hi

    My name is André. I am an independent consultant.

    If you run excel in safe mode, does the problem happen?

    Open the Run dialog box by pressing the Windows key + R. ...

    Once the Run window opens, type:

    excel /safe in the input box next to 'Open'.

    Press the Return key or click OK

    Answer here so I can continue helping you.

    André.
