  2. "Excel 2016" App icon still in app list after uninstalling

    Hi Averen,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    Apologize for the difficulties that you're experiencing with Windows 10. Do not worry. We'll be glad to help you in resolving this issue.

    What happens when you click on the Excel 2016 App icon?

    Try Removing Apps From The All Apps List by following the below steps.

    Step 1: Right-click on Excel 2016 from All Apps List > Click on
    More > Open file location.

    Step 2: After clicking Open file location, a new File Explorer window will appear showing you the application shortcut, so you may want to delete that shortcut,
    restart the computer once, and check for the issue.

    Alternatively, you may also press the Windows and R keys > Type or copy/paste the following command and hit
    Enter.

    %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

    Then, look for Excel 2016 shortcut and delete it. Once deleted, restart the computer once, and check for the issue.

    If you are still facing the same issue, I would suggest you to post a Screenshot
    of the Apps list, where you are seeing the Excel shortcut.

    Give it a shot and let us know of any changes.

    Excel files icon is not the original but the app one

    Cannot save an excel file to any location on C:

    It sounds like you have Ransomware Protection turned on in Windows Security. You can check to see if it has recently blocked your Excel. See Option One in this tutorial, at Step 5 click 'Recently blocked apps'. If Excel appears there, add it to the list of allowed apps.
