Cannot open Excel files after upgrading to Windows 11
Hi, I just upgraded to Windows 11. Now, when I opened my excel files in my QNAP NAS, excel showed document recovery message: "Excel has recovered the following files. Save the ones you wish to keep....
homeuserhvp I had to resave all my excel files as .xls instead of .xlsx and it worked. I hope the same does for you, but the issue still remains.
Sepharo I have tried the "Right-Click" and "Open with Excel", but it fails. I tried "xls" and "xlsx" files and neither will open. WORD works as it normally would. I can start Excel and it shows up to allow me to open a file. If I click on starting a blank new worksheet, Excel shutsdown. The ones I try to open show up in the "recently opened" list, but I still can't open any.
I have the same problem after upgrading to win 11.
Please help
rajuann check online for commandline parameters. I think "/e" as the one I tried. To do this, find the shortcut for starting Excel and add those two characters outside the quotes(I think), skipping my quote marks. Experiment. I don't have my laptop with me it the moment.
