    Tried both, and neither fixed this issue for a Windows 10, Office 2016, 64 bit Excel.  It is only happening with 2 files also.  This is a newly imaged and fresh install of Office.

    I copy the file with issue to another laptop which can open it successfully with editable mode, then save it to another copy with different name. Move the new copy back to my laptop, open the new one and this time issue gone.
