When I double click and Excel icon it opens Excel biut does not launch the
specific spreadsheet. I have to then go back to the icon and double click
again for it to open. This is a new problem that has only arisen ofver the
past 2 weeks

Try this

ToolsOptionsGeneral uncheck "Ignore other Applications"
Exit Excel and try again
