When I get an Excel file on mail in Outlook and preview it, I can't use keyboard arrows, copy (Ctrl +c/v) or select(Ctrl +a) in the Excel preview ( was able 2 days ago).
Till then, I try to restart my computer, change my keyboard, clean my Outlook cache, look for any options for that but I can't find any.
Compared all options with the colleague sitting next to me (because on him it works normally)
It works normally for example in Word file preview.
I can use mouse and right-click/copy and select it with it, but can't use my keyboard in excel previews...
Tried turning off antivirus, macros, add-ons, update outlook...
Are there any simple options that I didn't find for that, or do I need to reinstall Outlook?

Tried all the things you mentioned, but nothing worked.
This is the version that I have:
Think I will go full uninstall/install and try if that will work.
Edit:
After full uninstall / Install. still nothing (I stay on the last version )
Are we sure there are no options for turning off / on the possibility to
use keyboard arrows, copy (Ctrl +c/v) or select(Ctrl +a) in the Excel preview?
