    The main problem is not solved.

     

    None of the solutions proposed here are permanently solving the problem.

     

    Also, I suspect that also the causes mentioned here are not the relevant ones since I'm getting this error also from different unexplained setups.

     

    I have a MS 365 Business license; I pay a lot of money for their Excel and surprising a very annoying and time consuming problem is not solved for such a long time.

     

    Very disappointing ...
