personal.xlsb file not loading when Excel starts up

I created a new macro and stored it in the personal macro workbook. When I open the XLSTART folder I see the personal.xlsb file with the correct time stamp.  But when I shut down excel and reopen it the personal.xlsb does not load and so when I go to run a macro from it excel does not show it as being available.  If I shut down excel, then double click on the personal.xlsb file it opens excel and I now see the macros. So what has me stumped is why it is not automatically loading when I start up excel. I have checked all the setting and all macros are enabled, etc.

  • Hi tomrdillon1944 

     

    Can you please try doing the following 

    1. Back-up your personal macro workbook (PMW)

    2. Create the new workbook & make new PMW

    3. copy the codes from your back-up PMW and paste into new one.

     

    hope this should fix the issue
