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. ...
I've had this problem also . . .
I've tried all the various "things to try" that many people have posted here and elsewhere . . . all to no avail. No matter what I tried, the 'ghost' was always there IF I opened Excel full-screen (i.e. maximized). If I had foresight of mind to close Excel non-maximized, then when I'd re-open it things were fine (no ghost).
BUT . . . . what DID work for me . . . was setting the properties for the Excel icon (on my Quick Launch Bar, would be same for your desktop app-launch icon) to "Run As Administrator" . . . see attached screen-shot.
