If you're experiencing issues with Excel requiring repair, it may be due to corrupted files or settings. Here are steps you can take to resolve the issue:
- Repair Office:
- For a Microsoft 365 Click-to-Run installation on Windows 10:
- Type Control Panel in the search box and open it.
- Under Programs, click Uninstall a program.
- Select Microsoft 365 and click Change.
- Choose Online Repair and follow the prompts. You may need to restart your computer after the repair.
- For other versions like Office 2016, 2013, 2010, or 2007, refer to the Repair Office programs.
- For a Microsoft 365 Click-to-Run installation on Windows 10:
- Turn Off Add-ins: Sometimes, add-ins can cause issues. Disable them by:
- Going to File > Options > Add-Ins.
- In the Manage list, select COM Add-Ins and click Go.
- Uncheck one add-in at a time, restart Excel, and see if the issue persists.
- Disable Hardware Acceleration: This can also help resolve issues. You can find this option in Excel's advanced settings.
- Check for Multiple Instances: Open Task Manager and ensure that only one instance of Excel is running. If there are multiple instances, close them and try opening Excel again.
If these steps do not resolve the problem, you may need to consider reinstalling Excel or checking for any updates that might be available for your Office installation.
