A family of Microsoft spreadsheet software with tools for analyzing, charting, and communicating data
Dear JenDingbat,
Good day! Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community. We are happy to help you.
Please try Opening Office apps in safe mode to check whether there is an add-in or extension that may be causing a problem on startup.
Also, please check this:File / Options / Trust Center / Trust Center Settings... / ActiveX Settings
Make sure the first option: "Disable all controls without notification" is unchecked.
If you still experience this phenomenon, please inform us of the following information
- The version information of Excel you are using (File - Account - version information)
- Does this happen with other Office applications (e.g. PowerPoint)?
Sincerely,
Tin | Microsoft Community Moderator
