You can get rid of loading .net framework in Excel 2019 by doing File, Info, Check for Issues/Inspect Document and ticking Custom XML Data (you can tick everything else as well, but it will take a long time). It will tell you that Custom XML Data was found, so press Remove. Then close and save.

Thanks
