A lot of people around the world opt for Excel when tabulating data, creating reports with graphs, and managing other important information for work, school, and other applications. This is also the reason why it can be frustrating for many when this software malfunctions. Just imagine how irritating it is when your deadline is fast approaching and you can’t properly open the Excel file on the very first go.

Perhaps, when you double-click the file, Excel starts up but you only get a blank white screen. Of course, there’s a workaround for this problem. That is to click File-Open-Workbook. However, it is always more convenient to simply double-click the file instead of always going through a long path. As such, we’ve put together this video to teach you how to fix the white screen on Excel 2016 and other versions of the program.

What causes this Excel issue?
Before you learn how to fix blank white pages in Excel, it is important for you to understand exactly what causes the problem. According to Microsoft Support, the issue occurred after the company rolled out a security upgrade. It affected how certain types of files open in Excel. The security updates, namely KB3115262, KB3115322, and KB3170008, prevent users from opening files that are not compatible with the program’s Protected View feature. As such, Excel would not open the workbook and just show a blank screen.

Method 1: Disabling the Ignore DDE feature
It is possible that Excel is not properly opening files because of the Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) feature. When you double-click a file, it is supposed to send a message to the program, instructing it to open the workbook. In this case, you would have to uncheck the Ignore DDE feature to resolve the issue.

Method 2: Resetting file associations in Excel
Another solution to this problem is bringing back the Excel file associations to their default settings.

Method 3: Repairing Microsoft Office
In some cases, the best solution would be to repair the Microsoft Office programs.

Method 4: Disabling Hardware Graphics Acceleration
There are times when the Hardware Graphics Acceleration feature causes Excel to freeze or crash. This may also be the reason why you only bring up a blank screen when you double-click .xls files.

Method 5: Switching off the add-ins
Excel and COM add-ins may prevent the program from properly opening files. As such, you have to disable these add-ins one by one. Doing so will allow you to identify which causes the issue.
