I'm trying to access very important files on excel and it's saying that I have encrypted it (which I never did) or that I don't have ownership of the file, but I checked and it says I do. Please help I don't wanna loose these files.
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.

Welcome to the Board!

If not you, then it sounds like someone else may have.
Hope it isn't a ransomware attack!
