Excel "Unable to record" macro
Hello,
I just installed Microsoft 365 on my desktop running windows 11. I am unable to record macros, view macros on existing workbooks, or create/view VBA projects. Macros are enabled in the macro security settings.
Whenever I try to record a macro I get the error message below:
Whenever I try to open a workbook with existing macros I get the error message below:
If I click "No" at this message, excel just goes black:
If I click "Yes" I get the following error:
(The "log file" just repeats the "Removed Part" message you can see above)
This is reproducible 100% of the time.
I have tried repairing my installation of 365, uninstall/reinstalling 365, contacting microsoft support and running through their procedures, all to no avail.
I would really appreciate any help with this issue.
Thanks,
For anyone else having this issue: The issue corrected itself after a fresh install of my OS.
