I create new book in excel (no protected or locked cells). And select columns or rows. Then the selection do not highlight in grey (only outline line):

Throw, if I select cells - selection highlights:

I tried:

  1. Restore excel defaults, by deleting from regedit and restarting.
  2. Deleted files from roaming (C:\Users\User_Name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel)
  3. Checked Add-ins.
  4. Repaired Microsoft Office.
  5. Uninstalled Office 365, restarted and installed again.
  6. Created new user and installed office 365.
  7. ?what else?

Nothing helps to change this option... Windows 10 Pro

Please, help...

    Hi.

    Try this solution: change your worksheet zoom level :-) it's worked for me.
