Is your Add-in Ribbon Menu disappearing? A recent Microsoft Office security update has caused Add-in Ribbon Menu Bars to disappear when Excel is opened.

Here is a link the article with step-by-step instructions. https://www.excelcampus.com/vba/add-in-ribbon-disappears/

Microsoft released an Office Update in July 2016 that is causing this issue with installed add-in Ribbons disappearing. The security update is blocking files that have been downloaded from the internet.

Files downloaded from the internet now have a Security property that is automatically set to Block. When you open regular Excel files (.xlsx or .xlsm), you will get a security prompt asking you if the file is safe.

However, there is no security prompt for add-in files (.xla, .xlam). That means there is nothing to tell you why the add-in ribbon disappeared.

So if you have downloaded an Excel Campus add-in recently, or an add-in from another site, then you might not be seeing it load up when you open Excel. Argh!!!

If this still does NOT solve your problem then your add-in might have become disabled. Checkout this video on how to restore a disabled add-in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJlemzmo8t0
