bug in MS Office 356 (Excel)

"Hello Microsoft,

 

I have noticed a bug in MS Office 356, specifically in Excel. If we don't have a license for Office 365, the application prompts us to activate the product via the activation wizard. However, if we open the wizard and then open any saved Excel file, after closing the first file using the taskbar (not the task manager), the second file works normally. I can edit, save, and use all the toolbar features without any issue. I believe this is a bug in the product, as I haven't observed the same behavior in Word , outlook and PowerPoint."

    Hello! I appreciate you bringing this bug in MS Office 365 to attention. It’s definitely an inconvenience to be prompted by the activation wizard while trying to access saved files in Excel. I suggest reporting this issue to Microsoft support so they can look into it and resolve it. Your feedback is important for improving the product!
