    Dear @KTG Engineering,

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

    Based on your description, you cannot open Excel app. I understand this is frustrating situation. I will try my best to support you. But for better understand your situation, could you confirm some information as:
    What is the exact error message or code shown in Excel when it cannot open?

    Does this issue happen with one specific file or all Excel files?
    Does it occur in Excel desktop app or Excel web version?

    Have you tried repairing Office or restarting Excel in Safe Mode to check whether the issue still persists or not (in case you are using web version)

    It would be helpful if you could share the screenshot of the issue.

    In the meantime, you can refer to this article Excel not responding, hangs, freezes or stops working

    Please understand that the more information you provide, the more effectively I can support.

    Looking forward to your update.

    Try these steps in order to fix Excel not opening on Windows:

    1. Close all Office apps.
    2. Repair Office installation:
      1. Open Windows Settings.
      2. Go to Apps → Installed apps (or Apps & features).
      3. Find Microsoft 365 (or Office), select Modify.
      4. Choose Online Repair, then confirm and let it complete. This fully reinstalls Office components.
      5. Restart the computer and try opening Excel again.

    If Excel opens but shows only a blank screen when opening files, run the same Online Repair as above; this is the recommended fix when Excel opens to a blank screen.

    If Excel still cannot open files and shows messages about file format, corruption, or extension problems, follow the guidance in Repairing a corrupted workbook from the “Open a document after a file corruption error” article to try to recover the affected workbook.

    If none of these steps help, contact Microsoft Support for further repair or a complete removal/reinstall of Office using their advanced tools.
