Hard to diagnose without a bit more data (and even with more data, the cause may be elusive). But let me ask a few diagnostic questions:
To your subsequent question about posting files, it can be difficult at times. If it becomes necessary, you would be able to grant access to folks to your file on OneDrive (if you use it) or DropBox, or other such file sharing systems. But let's start with answers to those questions. (And if there's other information you can provide, please do)

In the header to this all, you do mention the words "because the file extension is invalid"
I should have asked, (or you could have provided as well) --

@KPD22 If the extension IS xlsx it's not clear how/why/when you're getting the message that it's invalid.
I encounter regularly this "Alert" when trying to open a file that I get from a financial institution.
Are you getting a message like that? Not identical maybe, but similar?
In my case, I DO trust the data and its source, so open it without trouble.
So I'm reaching the end of my ability to offer suggestions, but there may be others here with ideas. You could help by giving a more complete description of the scenario--timing of crash, what kind of error message or alert you're getting when you try to open. Attach images if a file can't be attached.

Attached is the screenshot of the error.

i have same problem w/ this ones
There were several different descriptions given earlier in this thread. So you'll need to be a bit more specific/descriptive, maybe include a screen image... Maybe add a description of the file you're trying to open, what you believe or know it to be, what its source is...
