excel open empty after double click on .xls file

[Philippe Camus]

hi,

here's my problem :

After fresh install of my PC with windows 10 vers 1703, and office 365 (Excel vers 1704 build 8067.2157)

When I start excel and open a file, every things ok

BUT :

When I double click on Excel file, Excel start but open empty. The file content is not displayed.

If I double click again on the file while Excel is open, it appears ok.

The same when the excel file is joined to outlook message.

I already check all solutions given on forums (repaire, etc...), had a contact with microsft support (took the control of PC check a lot of thing with no success, to finally ask me to contact "answer")

Has anyone expérimented this problem and solved it?

Many thanks for hep

Hello Phlippe,

may be activating/deactivating the checkbox for "Ignore other application that use Dynamic Data Exchange" can help. I added a screenshot of the french option here.

Please also see this article (English): How to Troubleshoot Excel opening blank when you double-click a file icon or file name.

Best,

Hi Philippe,

I had similar issue once on one of previous builds, quick repair helped me. Looks like not your case. Most probably you've seen this support article already, however just in case https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2994633/excel-how-to-troubleshoot-excel-opening-blank-when-...

Do we have any solution to this problem? I have tried all steps as suggested in above messages/responses, end result is same. One thing I did observe, When I completed online repair of Office, double click worked to open the file. However on activation of the product as suggested - old problem returned.. Does this help someone to trace the problem source??

I will need to really investigate, as I have not installed any additional stuff since this stopped working!! I think it must be some update which may have caused it!! Hope I will be able to find it..
