Default Excel is defaulting to Number format instead of General format

Maybe you have a workbook template file named book.xlt (or .xltx or .xltm) in
your XLStart folder.

This template file is used as the basis for starting new workbooks.

You could try to edit it (and change the number format) or move it (or delete
it). Then restart excel to test.

to General. We tried to uninstall and re-install but this did not help.
