  1. Close Excel and check if the Excel process is absent in Task Manager.

    - for the Business edition - C:\Users\[USER_NAME]\AppData\Local\Ablebits\Ultimate Suite for Microsoft Excel\XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
    Here is the AblebitsLoader.exe file.
  3. Find the AblebitsLoader.exe file there, right-click on it, and choose Properties.
  4. Switch to the Compatibility tab and click Change emulation settings at the bottom of the window.
  5. Check off the Use advanced settings box and enable the Disable hybrid execution mode (x86 apps only) and Strict self-modifying code support options in the ARM emulation settings for AblebitsLoader.exe dialog window.
    These are the options to select.
