I think the issue is that Excel needs to the workbook to have at least one worksheet visible at all times.
So, if it change the code slightly so that the unhiding happens first, and the hiding happens last, it should work.

Try this:
VBA Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
    
    Dim ws As Worksheet

    For Each ws In Worksheets
        If ws.Name <> "INTRO" Then ws.Visible = xlSheetVisible
    Next ws
    
'   Hide INTRO sheet
    Set ws = Sheets("INTRO")
    ws.Visible = xlSheetHidden
    
End Sub


Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)

    Dim ws As Worksheet

'   Unhide INTRO sheet first
    Set ws = Sheets("INTRO")
    ws.Visible = xlSheetVisible

    For Each ws In Worksheets
        If ws.Name <> "INTRO" Then ws.Visible = xlSheetHidden
    Next ws
    
End Sub
