When you click 'Enable Content', you allow Excel to run macros and potentially dangerous content. This can increase the risk of Virus or Malware infection if the Excel file is not created and distributed from a trusted source.

Therefore, opening Excel files shows Enable Editing when you turn on protected mode.

(*) Macros in Microsoft are a set of commands recorded or written down to perform a series of automated actions. This automatic operation saves time and reduces the risk of relying on manual operations. However, there is a possibility of viral infection. 

 

(*) Malware is the abbreviation term 'malicious software' (malicious software). 

Clicking the Enable Content edit should be done carefully. Only enable content when you trust or know the source of the Excel file. If you are not sure, click Disable content to ensure the safety of your system.

The Enable Content error in Excel is not an error but a security mechanism. Set up to protect users from the risk of corrupted files damaging the system. This is a warning asking for confirmation of activation of content or macros in the file.

Delete open Excel file and show Enable Editing automatically

Even though you are sure that the Excel file is downloaded from a reputable source, but opening the Excel file still has the error enable editing? As mentioned about the meaning of Enable Editing, it is very likely that the file has Macros attached.

It can be said that with current versions of Excel, automatic mode is quite common in the algorithm. That's why when transferring Excel files, Macros can often be read.

If you trust the file source, you can turn off Enable Content in Excel automatically. It saves you a little more time. Of course, you can still maintain this mode and edit files when clicking Enable Editing.

Remember to open an Excel file that is Enable Editing, which means that the Excel file is in read-only mode and is switched to editing mode.
