    Hi, I'm John! I will help you with this.

    May I know what troubleshooting steps have you already taken?

    Have you tried manual repair instead? If you haven't tried it yet, please follow the steps below.

    If you haven't tried anything yet please start by:

    First, please check if your Microsoft 365 is active or if your Office license is listed. You can do this by signing in at https://account.microsoft.com/services if the subscription is active or if your Office license is listed, try these steps:

    Repair Office apps:

    • Press Windows + R, type appwiz.cpl and press Enter.
    • Find Microsoft 365 or Office in the list, select it, then choose Change > Quick Repair.
    • If that doesn’t help, run the repair again but select Online Repair instead.

    Check for updates:

    • Open any Office app (if it opens even briefly), go to File > Account > Update Options > Update Now.
    • Restart your device after repair and try opening the apps again.

    If the apps still don’t open, please let me know if you’re using Microsoft 365 or a one-time purchase version (like Office 2021), so I can guide you with the next specific steps.

    Let me know how it goes or if you have any further questions or concerns.

    When Excel keeps showing an error with a “Repair” option, it usually indicates either a corrupted workbook or a damaged Office/Excel installation.

    Try these steps in order:

    1. Check if it is only one file or all files
    • Open a different Excel file or create a new blank workbook.
    • If only one file has the problem, treat it as a possible corrupted workbook.
    • If all files or Excel itself fail, repair Office instead.
    1. If it is a corrupted workbook Use Excel’s built‑in repair:
    2. Open Excel.
    3. Select File > Open.
    4. Browse to the folder that contains the problem workbook.
    5. In the Open dialog, select the workbook once.
    6. Click the arrow next to Open, then choose Open and Repair.
    7. First choose Repair to recover as much as possible.
    8. If Repair fails, repeat and choose Extract Data to pull out values and formulas.

    If the file still will not open, see the additional recovery methods in the same article (for example, trying to open from a different disk location).

    1. If Excel/Office itself is broken (error on any file) Use an Online Repair of Office, which fully reinstalls components:
    2. Close all Office apps (Excel, Word, Outlook, etc.).
    3. Open Settings in Windows.
    4. Go to Apps > Installed apps.
    5. Find Microsoft 365 (or Office) and select Modify.
    6. Choose Online Repair and confirm.
    7. Wait for the repair to complete (can take 15–30 minutes) and then restart the PC.
    8. Open Excel again and test.

    If the error continues after Online Repair, uninstalling Office completely and reinstalling it cleanly is the next step, as shown in the Q&A context.
