The splash screen would say “Opening in protected view…” 



 

To resolve this issue please try the following steps - 


  1. In Excel. Click File > Options.
  2. Click Trust Center > Trust Center Settings 
  3. Select Protected View and uncheck Enable Protected View for files originating from the internet.


If the issue is still present after following these steps, please contact Customer Support.
