Excel Comments gone/unable to view

I've created a workbook to log information for my work. In this, I had a notes section that I could log all conversations I had when I had contacted a customer so when I hover over the purple indicator in the cell, it would show me the conversations/key notes  i've had with customers. 

 

I have just opened my workbook today to try and view/add to these comments and all comments now have a red indicator in the cell and the text says the following ' [Threaded Comment] Your version of excel allows you to read this... 

 

How can I recover my notes as they are extremely important to my work.

    Same happened to me now, 4 years later! After updating to Win11 all my threaded comments are in the form of these super useless Notes, and I cannot even created new threaded comments as I only get the stupid yellow notes when I click "New comment". 

    Need a fix, urgently

    Four years later and I have the same freakin problem after the update to Win11. 

    Quite frankly, I am shocked this problem is out there for so long and no solutions that work!
