There can be several reasons why a workbook may not open on the first attempt. Here are some possible causes:
Outdated Office Version: If your Office version is outdated, it may have compatibility issues with some files. Make sure your Office version is up to date with the latest updates.
Security Settings: It is possible that the file has been blocked by security settings on your computer. Check your antivirus or firewall settings to ensure they are not blocking the file.
File Corruption: If the file is corrupted or damaged, it may not open on the first attempt. Try repairing the file with an excel repair tool. There are a number of such tools available.
