Excel

It sounds like Excel might be set to open a new workbook automatically when you close one.

You can check and change this behavior in the Excel options.

Here is how you can do it:

1. Open Excel.
2. Click on the "File" tab in the ribbon to go to the Backstage view.
3. Click on "Options" at the bottom of the left-hand menu. This will open the Excel Options window.
4. In the Excel Options window, go to the "Advanced" tab on the left.
5. Scroll down to the "General" section.
6. Look for the option that says "Show sheets in new workbook." If it is checked, uncheck it.
7. Click "OK" to apply the changes.

Now, when you close a workbook, Excel should not automatically open a new one. If the issue persists, there might be other factors at play, and you may want to check if there are any add-ins or external programs affecting Excel's behavior, as previously recommended.
