Extra Ghost Excel Screen
Recurring problem on several computers on several versions of MS Excel. Latest is version 2016. I often times get an extra full-screen blank excel. It's completely a blank frame not a blank sheet. ...
We had the same issue for over a year now but today my colleague has found the solution to this issue.
In our environment we have Ivanti / RES One running on Windows 10. This software blocks the Excel Add-Ins like Solver Add-In and Analysis Toolkit which Excel want to open in a hidden Excel worksheet.
In our case the solution is adding a REG-key / string under:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\RES\Workspace Manager\
with
Value name : AllowExcelMinimized
Value data : yes
