Excel is refusing to open some workbooks, showing a blank screen. If I go to immediate window workbooks.count = 1 (personal.xlsb, not the xlsx), the workbook is not show in unhide option. The workaround I found to work is open a workbook (not the problematic), open the problematic workbook, go to ribbon View/Unhide and unhide the workbook.
I found this link:

None proposed solution worked.
Excel 2010 + Windows 10.
Thanks
 

Excel Facts

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
After checking/unchecking "Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)" in excel options and close and reopen, repeating a few times, I think that the problem is seem gone.
Actually, I cleared everything in the general options tab, after the problem disappeared, I re-enabled the options again, except for DDE.
