The issue got solved by an online repair from the Programs and Features in the Control Panel.
Hope it helps to others
Try this:
Open Excel w/o any files --> Choose Settings --> Trust center --> Trusted location.
Here you can add all your trusted places where Excel can open its files from Explorer.
It works very well.
