Hello everyone.


I also encountered the same issue on Windows 11 24H2, Excel Version 2507 Build 19029.20184.

I recalled that EPE was working earlier this year, so I thought rolling back Excel might resolve this issue and tried it—and it actually worked.

I used the link How to revert to an earlier version of Office and rolled back to Excel Version 2501 Build 18429.20132.

While this doesn't provide a fundamental solution to the issue of it not working in the latest version of Excel, given Intel's lack of enthusiasm for fixing the EPE vulnerability, I believe this method is currently the most straightforward option.

​Best regards
