Hi
I'm using a Surface Pro 6 with Office Pro 2016.
Excel.exe on launches again after closing any of a couple of different complex xlsm workbooks with lots of code.
The various workbooks that cause the behavior are generally unrelated to each other and have been in use for many years.
This behavior never used to happen on this laptop; I feel it's something to do with a Microsoft security or environment update.
They don't exhibit this behavior on other computers. One of them had no changes made to it, the behavior just started exhibiting.
It's only the app that relaunches (without an open workbook). I can just close Excel.exe after no worries only it's annoying.
If I make a new workbook, that doesn't exhibit that behavior.
If anyone can point me in an appropriate path to investigate it would be appreciated.

PS
I have complex word "docm"s too only these do not exhibit similar behavior.
