  1. File Explorer/Onedrive - Word and Excel Files not responding


    I had been having trouble opening OneDrive Word and Excel files from File Explorer. A search led to this post: File Explorer - Word and Excel Files not responding - Microsoft Community. My solution was to repair Office, as advised by the A. User post - https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Repair-an-Office-application-7821d4b6-7c1d-4205-aa0e-a6b40c5bb88b. I did the complete uninstall/reinstall of Office.

    File Explorer - Word and Excel Files not responding

    When I open File Explorer I can see all my folders and documents. If, for example, I open a folder in One Drive and choose a word or excel file, it will not open. I get the message that the file folder is not responding. I am able to access the files
    by using Excel or Word. I am using Windows 10, 64 bit and Office 365.

    Thank you, I followed your advise and did the Unlink and signed back in. It
    did not fix the problem. If I access One Drive through File Explorer, and click on a word or excel document I get the message that the folder is not responding. It does let me access pictures and PDF files okay.

    excel file causes instability in "windows explorer"

    When I open an excel file by double clicking on the name in windows explorer, the file opens OK but at the same

    time, the explorer file list jumps up and down as it lists and de-lists the

    excel temp file. It is very distracting. I can close the explorer window or

    simply change to another folder. It occurs only on one of my computers and only on some excel files

    It happens only with excel files and not with word or acrobat

    Any suggestions where to look for the problem. We've reinstalled Office 10 and reset my windows profile. nothing helped so far.
