To work around this problem, disable hardware acceleration until a fix is released by your video adapter manufacturer. Make sure to check regularly for updates to your video adapter driver.

To disable hardware acceleration, follow these steps:

  1. Start any Office 2013, 2016, 2019, or O365 program.

  2. On the File tab, select Options.

Option 4: Ignore DDE

This problem may occur if the Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) check box in Excel options is selected.

When you double-click an Excel workbook in Windows Explorer, a dynamic data exchange (DDE) message is sent to Excel. This message instructs Excel to open the workbook that you double-clicked.

If you select the 'Ignore' option, Excel ignores DDE messages that are sent to it by other programs. Therefore, the DDE message that is sent to Excel by Windows Explorer is ignored, and Excel does not open the workbook that you double-clicked.

To correct this setting, follow these steps.

Note

This step can be skipped for Excel 2019 and Excel O365.

  1. In the upper-left corner of the Excel window, select File > Options.
  2. On the left side of the Options window, select Advanced.
  3. In the Advanced window, scroll down to the General section.
  4. Clear the Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) check box, and then select the OK button at the bottom of the window.

Note

For more information about how to turn off DDE, see 'An error occurred when sending commands to the program' in Excel.

  1. Locate the file that is opening incorrectly, and copy it to your desktop.

Option 8: Turn off add-ins

Excel and COM add-in programs can also cause this problem. These two kinds of add-ins are located in different folders. For testing, disable and isolate the conflict by turning off each add-in one at a time. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. On the File menu, select Options, and then select Add-Ins.
  2. In the Manage list at the bottom of the screen, select COM Add-Ins item, and then select Go.
  3. Clear one of the add-ins in the list, then select OK.
  4. Restart Excel by double-clicking the icon or file name for the workbook that you are trying to open.
  5. If the problem persists, repeat steps 1-4, except select a different add-in in step 3.
  6. If the problem persists after you clear all the COM Add-ins, repeat steps 1-4, except select Excel Add-Ins in step 2. Then, try each of the Excel add-ins one at a time in step 3.

If Excel loads the file, the add-in that you last turned off is causing the problem. If this is the case, we recommend that you visit the manufacturer's website for the add-in to learn whether an updated version of the add-in is available. If a newer version of the add-in is not available, or if you don't have to use the add-in, you can leave it turned off.

If Excel does not open the file after you turn off all the add-ins, the problem has a different cause.

If none of the above options works, please make sure Excel is not in Compatibility mode.

If you still experience this problem after you try all these options, contact Microsoft Support for additional troubleshooting help.
