Excel Checkboxes aren't working

When I try to insert the checkbox, a small-ish box appears (see below) but I'm not able to actually "tick" it. I can see the true and false at the top, but it doesn't actually show the check mark.

I've already tried:

Restarting

File>Options> Optimize for compatibility (and restarted program)

Adjusted size/font

Help?

Microsoft 365 and Office | Excel | Other | Windows

    Ok. I think I´ve got it.

    It seems this feature is only available with Office 365.

    I´ve installed both, Office 2021 (already installed) and Office 365 (new install), set my personal account on both suites and, like magic, the checkbox appeared again.

    I´m not involved with Microsoft 365 Insider program so this shouldn't be a must for you guys.

    Let me know if you have the same luck because I lost almost half of my day looking for a solution for this #$%&! including scrolling forums and updating my windows too!
