Curios, if there was ever a fix for this? If excel is open the file opens
fine. If you open it from windows explorer, you have to hit any button in
excel and it will then open the file.

We found that unchecking "Ignore Other Applications..." helps, but not when
double-clicking an Excel file (old or new format) in Windows Explorer. We
have to click the minimize button which opens the file but doesn't minimize
Excel.

We can drag and drop a file into Excel and it opens immediately. File/Open
opens a file immediately.
