    Start Excel in Safe Mode; if it opens, disable its add-ins, and if it still does not open, run an Online Repair of Microsoft 365 or Office.

    1. Test Excel in Safe Mode

    1. Press Windows key + R.
    2. Type the following command, including the space before /safe:
    excel /safe
    1. Select OK.
    2. Check whether the title bar shows Microsoft Excel (Safe Mode). Safe Mode starts Excel without most add-ins and startup customizations, helping identify whether one is preventing startup.^1^

    2. If Excel opens in Safe Mode

    Disable the add-ins:

    1. In Excel, select File → Options → Add-ins.
    2. At the bottom, set Manage to COM Add-ins, then select Go.
    3. Clear all checkboxes and select OK.
    4. Close Excel and open it normally.
    5. If Excel now opens, re-enable the add-ins one at a time, restarting Excel after each one, to identify the problematic add-in.^2^

    3. If Excel does not open in Safe Mode

    Repair the Office installation. This repairs the entire Office suite, even when only Excel is affected.^3^

    Windows 11

    1. Right-click Start → Installed apps.
    2. Find Microsoft 365 or Microsoft Office.
    3. Select the three dots → Modify.
    4. Choose Online Repair → Repair.
    5. Complete the repair, restart the laptop, and try Excel again.

    Windows 10

    1. Right-click Start → Apps and Features.
    2. Select Microsoft 365 or Microsoft Office → Modify.
    3. Choose Online Repair → Repair.
    4. Complete the repair, restart the laptop, and try Excel again.

    Online Repair is more thorough than Quick Repair. If your installation only displays an MSI repair option, select Repair → Continue instead.^3^

    If Excel remains completely unresponsive after Online Repair, provide the Windows version, Office version, and whether excel /safe displayed an error such as “Windows cannot find Excel.” Those details determine the next appropriate installation or startup troubleshooting step.

    Hi Rajesh,

    Please provide some more details, is this problem affecting one Excel Worksheet or all Excel worksheets, are you unable to open Excel and if so, what error is indicated, is it an error dialog indicating Excel failed to open or an error dialog with a 'Repair Now' button, or is it some other error?

    1

    If this is a problem opening Excel and there is a popup error indicating Excel failed to start correctly, possibly with a 'Repair Now' button:

    Before performing this process to ensure you do not loose the Office installation during the repair, please log into your Microsoft account on this link (https://account.microsoft.com/services/) and check to ensure your Office licence or Microsoft 365 subscription is listed correctly on your account.

    Open the Settings App (gear icon on your Start Menu)

    Go to Apps - Installed Apps or Apps and Features

    Then, scroll down to find Microsoft Office or Microsoft 365.

    Select that and choose Modify - Online Repair

    That should fix any issues with your Office Installation.

    2

    If that does not resolve the problem, Open Word.

    At the top right of Word, log out of Office.

    Restart (not shut down) your PC, then log back into Office, and check if that resolves the problem.
