Launching Excel I get this message: Sorry, we couldn’t find C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficerootOffice16XLSTART

I started getting a dialog box coming up every time with the message:

Sorry, we couldn’t find C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficerootOffice16XLSTART

However, there IS a folder in that exact location. Spelled exactly this way. I can place it in the File Explorer address bar and navigate to it directly. It’s not hidden and the permissions are correct.

Sorry, we couldn’t find C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficerootOffice16XLSTART

I’ve tried changing the locations in the File Options dialog box under Save and also under Macros>Protected Locations and nothing seems to correct his error.

I’ve had various issues for a number of years with creating/recording macros in Excel and saving to the Personal Macro Workbook. I use the Repair option in the Control Panel > Programs and Features dialog box but it seems like Microsoft has left this bug in and now, with Office 2021 (Microsoft® Excel® 2021 MSO (Version 2604 Build 16.0.19929.20086) 64-bit), I am finding it impossible to resolve several issues that keep coming up related to macros.

Any help would be appreciated.
