Hello 

I faced the exact issue without knowing the exact cause till half an hour ago only.

This issue started to happen since one month exactly and I did everything you can imagine by uninstalling the office itself 5 or 6 times and clearing the cache and installing a different versions of Microsoft office till I noticed that from a month I installed Foxit pdf editor and it was appearing beside the help tab inside the excel as usual same the Acrobat.

I digged deeply till I found the final solution

Here are the steps:

1- Go to File/Options/Add-ins

2- Manage in the bottom

3- Choose COM Add-ins

4- Uncheck any box including the pdf program you are using

5- It should be solved by now

 

Try and give me your feedback

ThanksSantero10

Thank you for your reply and help. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the problem on my end as I don't have any plug-in to deactivate.
