    CSV files used to open in Excel....not now!

    Hi, you say Excel is installed. Does it run normally?

    You can't find Excel in (an unspecified) list of applications. I don't know which list that is for sure.

    For example, in the list related to:
    - rt click a file. Open With
    - this list:

    Excel not opening 117074d1485975761t-csv-files-used-open-excel-not-now-snap-2017-01-14-14.24.53.jpg

    - this list:

    Excel not opening 117076d1485975761t-csv-files-used-open-excel-not-now-snap-2017-01-14-14.25.46.jpg


    - some other list...

    If Excel does not appear in the above, I suggest you repair your office installation.

    Maybe the above gives you some ideas. Otherwise please post a screenshot of where you think you should see it but don't. Thanks.

  3. Excel isn't opening properly

    Hello BradBoner

    Does the error pop up as soon as you click on the Excel program to open or once the Excel is opened?

    Try the steps below and check if it helps:

    Step 1:

    Try to open Excel in safe mode and check if it opens:

    · Hold Windows key + R.

    · Copy and paste, or type the following command in the Open box, and then press Enter:

    Excel /safe

    Note: There is space between Excel and/

    If the issue does not occur in Excel safe, then try to disable add-ins associated with Excel 2013 and check the result.

    · Click on File menu, Options and then Add-ins.

    · Click on Go button besides Manage: Com-in Add.

    · Check if there are add-ins listed, clear the checkbox to disable them.

    Step 2:

    If the above step fails, try the step below:

    Right click on Excel (.exe) > Properties > Compatibility > uncheck all the boxes, click Ok and check if it helps.

    To access Excel (.exe), open the following location:

    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\Excel.exe

    Or

    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\Root\Office15\Excel.exe

    Try to open Excel and check if it opens.
