Getting the error: Microsoft Access can't find the wizard. etc...

Occurs when: Using the Import from Excel feature

I have checked the Add/Remove Features and Access is completely installed, not sure what is missing?

Microsoft 365 and Office | Access | For home | Windows

    1. Create a new blank db
    2. External Data
    3. Import & Link -> Excel
    4. Browse and select .xlsx file
    5. Select Import the source data into a new table in the current database.
    6. Click OK
    7. Error comes up:

    Microsoft Access can't find the wizard. This wizard has not been installed, or there is an incorrect setting in the Windows Registry, or this wizard has been disabled.

    To reenable this wizard, click the File tab, and click Access Options. Click Add-Ins, and then in the Manage list, click Disabled Items, and then click Go. Rerun Microsoft Access or Microsoft Office Setup program to reinstall the wizards. If the missing wizard is not a Microsoft Access wizard, reinstall it using the Add-in Manager.

    I have check the disabled Add-Ins and there are none.

    Programs and Features > Microsoft Office > Change > Add or Remove Features:

    Using plus arrow beside Microsoft Access and Microsoft Excel to ensure all sub features are set to: Run from My Computer

    And then...

    Programs and Features > Microsoft Office > Repair

    Still the same issue after Repair and reboot.
