    Hi @Vighnesh Londhe,

    Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

    Based on your sharing, the error message “Excel has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly” is a common error that often points to Office installation or add-ins issue.  

    To resolve this situation, there are several steps you can try to narrow down the issue: 

    1- Check for updates 

    • Make sure you're running the latest Excel version via File > Account > Update options > Update now

    2- Run Excel in safe mode 

    • Press Windows + R to open Run dialog box and type excel /safe > press OK to run.

    • If Excel opens normally, the problem is due to an add-in.    
    • Then and go to File > Options > Add-ins > select Excel Add-ins > Go > uncheck all listed add-ins and click OK. Repeat the same steps with the COM add-ins

    • Restart Excel and check if the error is gone. Then re-enable the add-ins one by one and restarting Excel each time to find which one causing the error. 

    3- Run Office Repair 

    • Go to Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features.  
    • Find Microsoft Office, right-click, and choose Change.  
    • Select Quick Repair. If that doesn’t work, try Online Repair.
