Hi Unnikrishnankk Can you check if you have not chosen a different app as the default app to open .xlsx files.

 

Just right click on any .xlsx file and check the default app. If this is different from Excel, you need to choose Excel as the default app.

 

 

Hope this helps.

 

Cheers

    wumolad  Hi thank you for your quick response.

    As suggested by you, I have tried that also several times earlier also. (Right click the .xlsx files). During right click also the window explorer not responds, so checking the property or associate app is not possible. If I open the Excel and open the .xlsx files from Excel, then there is no problem at all. The file is opening. If I tries to open the file from windows explorer then only the problem coming.

     

    If any remedy you know, pls let me know.
