Thanks for the tips! Do you mean switch it off then back on? When I flicked it off I got a pop up about not having virus protection turned on.

I don't know what to tell you. It updated my MB and my excel works fine now. I'm happy to upload the file though not sure if it would help after the fact.

This occurred to me today as well. I toggled ransomware protection off and was able to open excel. Then I ran the support tool from the provided link in the previous message: https://support.malwarebytes.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039023453-Upload-Malwarebytes-Support-Tool-logs-offline It did it's thing, updated my malwarebytes, and turned ransomware protection back on. Scheduled scan tomorrow so we will see if it shuts excel down again. I do find it odd that one would not be able to select ignore on a particular file for this. Seems like that would be the easiest temp solution but I'm no programmer.
