Experiencing unexpected behavior like Excel closing every time it saves can be frustrating. While there could be various reasons for this issue, here are a few potential solutions you can try:
- Check for Updates: Ensure that your Excel version is up to date. Install any available updates for Excel and the operating system to address any known issues.
- Repair Office Installation: Use the built-in repair feature to repair your Office installation. Go to the Control Panel, locate Microsoft Office in the list of installed programs, and select the "Repair" option.
- Disable COM Add-ins: Disable any COM add-ins that might be causing conflicts. In Excel, go to "File" > "Options" > "Add-Ins" and disable any add-ins that are enabled.
- Disable Hardware Graphics Acceleration: Try disabling hardware graphics acceleration in Excel. Go to "File" > "Options" > "Advanced" and under the Display section, check the box for "Disable hardware graphics acceleration."
- Disable Antivirus Software: Temporarily disable your antivirus software to see if it is causing any conflicts with Excel. If disabling the antivirus resolves the issue, contact the antivirus provider for further guidance.
- Clean Boot: Perform a clean boot to start Windows with minimal startup programs and services. This helps determine if any third-party software is causing the problem. Instructions for performing a clean boot can be found on the Microsoft Support website.
Remember to back up your Excel files before attempting any major changes or contacting support. The text and steps were created with the help of AI.
