I cannot get Excel 2016 to open and run a file by clicking on the file from File Explorer. Is there a bug?

The issue got solved by an online repair from the Programs and Features in the Control Panel.
Hope it helps to others
this does NOT work
There are no bugs and any such things in Office 2016. It is perfectly ready for use and in fact it is so much advanced that if any non-trusted file will not get opened in excel.
Anyways the permanent Solution for the problem is that you have to go to
file tab-->options-->Trust center-->Trust center Settings-->Protected View-->under this tab uncheck all the boxes
And here it is, the final version of Ultimate excel 2016.
have a nice excel
Thanks mate! Your solution worked like charm.
Hi,
I had this issue exporting a report from "Mach Software" by Apache (irrelevant to issue)
If you have an option to save excel file>> Right Click on file>> in the General tab, look at Security at the bottom. There should be an "Unblock" check box "This file came from another computer and might be blocked to help protect this computer" Check the box and re-open file.
Hope this works!
a "quick fix" under the repair options in programme manager worked for me.
