Windows 10: Where does Excel specify the location of the Personal.xslb file?

I recently got a new PC and moved all my files and programs and most everything works well. But Excel doesn't open the Personal.xlsb file. The folder that contains all my Excel files also contains a folder named Startup which contains Personal.xlsb, but Excel doesn't load it. I looked under File Options and found a heading "Startup Options" but it didn't have a place to specify the location of the Start Up folder. Can you point me in the right direction?

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.

Unable to view or open an excel file from Temp location on Windows 10.

Hi Arun,



The above issue might occur if you did not save the file before shutting down or signing out from the user account on the computer. The issue might also occur if you have deleted the excel file from the computer.



Before we assist further, I would like to ask you a few questions:

• 
  Did you try to search the excel file using
  Windows Search function?
  
• 
  Do you get any error message/error code on accessing the file from Excel program?
  

If you remember the excel file name saved on the computer, follow the steps below and check if you are able to view the file.

• 
  Press Windows logo key on the keyboard to initiate
  Windows Search function on the computer.
  
• 
  Type the excel file name and wait for the search to show at the top most search result in the window. You can also search according to the folder or drive on which the file is saved by selecting appropriate icon located at the
  top of the search window.
  
• 
  Click on the file name and check if you are able to access the same on the computer.
  

If you have deleted the excel file, check if the same is available in
Recycle Bin and restore the file to the saved location by right clicking on the file and selecting
Restore from the context menu.



Write to us with the status of not able to find and access the excel file on the computer in the same post for further assistance. Your reply is most important for us to ensure we assist you accordingly.
