    Can't open excel documents


    If I download excel documents on windows 10 I can't open them, not with excel nor sheets, those apps don't show up when I try to choose an app to open the file with. They do have the ".xlxs" at the end but the pc doesn't recognize them for some reason. I tried with files sent by someone else or to download statistics from sites, still nothing. This happend all of the sudden, I didn't had this problem before since I've installed windows 10. I think it's worth to mention, I have excel 2010, but also the 365 excel and sheets apps.

    :)

  2. Word and Excel documents are slow to open in Windows 10

    Have the same problem, here are my conditions:

    - Windows 10 Professional x64.

    - Office 2007 Ultimate.

    - Opening Word and Excel documents is slow when Word/Excel not currently open/running.

    - Opening the Word/Excel document with Word/Excel already open is fast/normal.

    Solution is the same as reported:

    1) Disable Cortana.

    2) Restart Windows.

    Step 2 is very important.

    Word and Excel documents are slow to open in Windows 10


    in my case, I don't need to restart windows. Closing cortana completely will make opening word and excel files fast like usual.

  4. Can't open excel documents

    Unable to print Excel documents on Windows 10.

    Hello Gifford,



    Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. We regret the inconvenience caused and will assist you in resolving the issue.



    From the above description, I understand you are unable to print Excel documents on the computer running Windows 10.



    Before assisting further, I would like to ask you few questions:

    • Did you check if you are able to print other system documents or webpages using the printer?
    • Did you check if the printer is visible under Devices and Printers?


    You will be able to print documents and web pages from the Printer if the device is online or showing working status under
    Devices and Printers.



    If haven’t tried, I suggest you to check if you are able to print documents other than Excel documents or webpages using the printer.



    Also check if the printer is listed under Devices and Printers
    by following the steps below:



    • Press Windows logo key on the keyboard, type Devices and Drivers and select the top most search result.
    • Under Printers, check if the printer you are trying to print from is listed.
    • If yes, print a test Excel document and check if the device works.


    Write to us with the status of the issue on the same post for further assistance. Your reply is important for us to ensure we assist you accordingly.



    Thank you.
