I've uploaded a video on Youtube showing the problem (Youtube because I can't do it on StackOverflow directly).
Any idea why I have this problem? I'm using Microsoft® Excel® for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2203 Build 16.0.15028.20178) 64-bit for enterprise on Windows 11.
My add-ins:
Here is a link to download the file.
EDITs: Safe Mode fixes the problem. De-activating my (only) add-in fixes the problem. Still not satisfied because I want to use Excel with the add-in and I don't want to launch it in safe mode everytime.
EDIT2: On my other laptop which also works on Windows 11, I do not have this problem.

We build an Outloook Addin and are testing it across different platforms.
It works on all the browsers (IE 11, Edge, Chrome and Safari), but not in the Outlook 2016 on Windows 10.
We root cause it, looks like the problem is Office JS API UI.displayDialogAsync() .
It does not open a dialog in Outlook 16 and the addin just hangs in there with the following progress message spinning forever,
[Your Addin] is working onr your [Request]
The closest thing we found on the Internet is this Stackflow post in which the answer says
the oldest Outlook build that supports this API is 16.0.6741.0000.
We are using 16.0.9226.2114, so we meet the requirement.
Here are versions of OS/Outlook and Office JS we use in the test:
OS: Window 10 Home, Version 10.0.16299, x64
Outlook: 16.0.9226.2114, 32bit (Version 1804)
Office JS: 1.1.5-release-next.1 (We download the exact package from GitHub and host it on our server)
Wonder is there any known issue of this API on Outlook 2016? Need some help here, thanks!
We have also been trying to debug Outlook 2016 using F12 developer tools .
But our addin cannot show up in the chooser page, no matter we launch the chooser before or after
we click on our addin. We have tried this on several windows 10 machines, but none of them work. Any suggestions that what we could possible miss here?
Seems to me that you had a similar issue to mine. For me adding the remote domain in the manifest resolved the case. Find and update the following section:
<AppDomains>
<AppDomain>https://your.domain.com/</AppDomain>
<AppDomain>https://auth.com/</AppDomain>
</AppDomains>
Proxy HTML works cause it's loading from your domain and still is viable solution.
Since the Windows update from October 10, the ODBC Excel drivers have stopped working. We get the following error when trying to read a file:
"Unexpected error from external database driver (1)"
We open Excel files in Delphi using an ADO connection with the following connection string:
Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\MyExcel.xls;Extended Properties="Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1";
I can get it to work by switching to Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0, but for that to work, all our customers would have to install the Microsoft Access Database Engine Redistributable on all the computers they use our software on.
Does anybody have another solution or workaround? Thanks in advance.
On a customers machine I have deinstalled KB4041681 (Windows 7) which came with last Microsoft Patch.
On my machine I have deinstalled KB4041676 (Windows 10).
After that Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 is now working.
I hope that Microsoft will fix this bug soon.
There is one solution. Replace "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\MyExcel.xls;Extended Properties="Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1"
with Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\MyExcel.xls; Extended Properties=\"Excel 12.0;HDR = YES;
After this change you will have to install 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components from link on customer machine.
I had the same problem with 2 applications developed by me since 3 years (c# and java).
Since 10-oct-2017 I couldn't export to excel 2003 but 2007 worked, and couldn't import from excel 2003 but 2007 worked too for import.
In ArcGIS Desktop 10.5.1 By ESRI (a most popular software for Geographic processing) Couldn't open excels 2003 and .mdb files.
Temporally Solution: uninstall KB4041693, KB4041687 in windows 8.1 (maybe for w10).
In microsoft changelog of both path say something about "updates [...] and security updates for microsoft jet".
After uninstall and restart all softwares becomes to be normal again.
this problem was introduced in 10-oct-2017.
In microsoft forums this problemas was reported (kb4041693 should "fix" it but still doesn't work).
Maybe in few weeks they will path (properly) this issue.
For me, it worked following these steps:
ps.: We have a Windows Server 2008R2
1 – Download and install this: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=23734
2 – Open the .dtsx file and change your Excel connection. On the properties dialog, Click on the three dots in the ConnectionString property and change it to Microsoft Excel 2007. This will automatically change your connection string to:
Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source={YOURPATH};Extended Properties=”Excel 12.0 XML;HDR=YES”;
3 – Some of our .dtsx files point to a config file (usually has a .dtsConfig extension). I also changed these guys to point to the right provider (pretty much copied and pasted the connection string I got from visual studio)
After this, I ran the SQL Job again and it worked fine.
If you are working with SSIS package then please change your Excel Sheet version 2003 to 2007 in Excel Source or Excel destination.Generally this issue due to excel version.
I had the same problem. Changed Excel 2007 in Excel destinations. It worked. This is same as changing the provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0.
HERE is the solution... i found it in another forum and work perfectly for me...
it will works 100%

The KB4041681 installs version 4.0.9801.1 of msexcl40.dll.
Find prior version (4.0.9801.0) of msexcl40.dll
Place in another directory. They suggest the application directory, but since in the next step you will modify registry to point to this older version, it can probably go anywhere.
Update registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Jet\4.0\Engines\Excel\win32 to point to the location from step 2.
Uninstall these updates(according to your OS) and your code will start running normally

This problem was introduced by a recent update of Microsoft Office. there are not alternative solutions at the moment.
We're using harmon.i.e, enterprise edition. For about two weeks we're having trouble with Excel-files.
When we open the files via Chrome on sharepoint, everything is fine. When we open the same file via harmon.ie nothing happens at first, an then the pc freezes. We have to do a hard-reset.
We've reinstalled harmon.ie -> no improvement
We've reinstalled Office x64 -> no improvement
Any ideas?
Please register the attached registry key then check again.
You said you use the Enterprise edition, you are hence a customer or an evaluator with a valid license file, in such case, you must report any issue to: support#harmon.ie
In text format:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mainsoft\Prefs\OpenFilesUsingScript]

I have a VB6 Outlook add-in. This is tested and working on a Windows 7 64bit machine, with 32bit OFFICE installed.
On another PC, Windows 7 64bit, 32bit OUTLOOK install, the add-in does not load. It is not listed in the list of COM add-ins, and when I try to add it to that list manually, it does not appear!
I assume that there is some dependancy with some office DLLs causing the issue but I don't know how to troubleshoot to find out where the issue lies.
Can anyone give me any tips??
Thanks in advance!
I got exactly the same problem until I realized the problem was coming from C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\DESIGNER\MSADDNDR.DLL, that is brought by Office 2013 Pro with a file modified in 2010, and not with the family version. Check out http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vsod/archive/2012/11/21/vb6-based-add-ins-may-fail-to-work-on-office-2013.aspx and http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2792179 that mention this issue. Another important thing to note that that the Family edition looks to be a ClickToRun version (simili AppV virtualized application and Professional version is a fully installed version).
I developed a 64-bit Addin.
For testing I added it on a laptop (64-bit machine with 64-Windows7 Enterprise and 64-bit Office 2010) [other than the one i developed the Addin on], its works fines i can call n use its functions. but when i add the same addin on a desktop machine (64-bit machine with 64-Windows7 Enterprise and 64-bit Office 2010), its functions are not available and no error message displayed as well. But when i re-launch Microsoft Excel 2010 a message appears.
Message text : "The file you are trying to open, 'MyAddin.xll', is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is in from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?"
As per the message text i verified that the location for xll is included in "trusted location". Yet the issue not resolved.
Whats your opnion in this regard,
Thanks & Regards,
Maverick.
Check that you have compiled it Release and not Debug (if you've done the latter it will only work on machines with the debug versions of included DLLs, which usually means machines with Visual Studio installed).
