Excel Blank Page Fix

Issue -

Everytime you click on an Excel file, it opens to a blank / grey Page

Solution -

Excel automatically opens any files in the XLSTART folder. I went to C:\Users\(User_Name)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART (replace "(User_Name)" with your user name) and deleted the files in this folder. You may want to move those files to some other location (i.e create a backup of those files and delete all files from here).

In my case I had a file in there that was corrupt "Personal.xlsb". After deleting this file, the issue was resolved.

If you did not find any files in that folder, verify this is the correct path for your folder.

1. Open excel

2. Click File

3. Click Options

4. Click the Advanced menu

5. Locate the General section.
