      Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

      File couldn’t open in Protected View is a Microsoft Excel feature that disables editing capabilities and opens files in read-only mode. If the file is in an unsafe location, the Excel file will open in Protected View. For example, a file can be opened from an insecure website or downloaded as an attachment in Outlook by suspicious senders. In this case, the Excel application cannot open the file protecting it from malware and virus attacks.

      However, sometimes the Excel file won’t open even if it’s in a safe place due to the Protected View feature. Also, when opening an Excel file, the error message “The file cannot be opened in Protected View” may be returned.
