I am using Excel 2016 on Windows 10. Today, the "Insert comment" option disappeared from the right-click pop-up context menu. When I right-click on a cell with no comment, there is no option to add one. If I right-click on a cell with a comment, I can edit or delete the comment. On the Insert tab of the ribbon, the Comments section is grayed out. This problem is affecting all spreadsheets that I have tried.
I googled the problem and tried every solution offered but none of them worked. How can I add comments to cells again?
Thank you

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
didn't work for me. I don't understand why they didn't give a quick solution? are they kidding?
God blesses you :)
I experienced the same today. Windows 7, Excel 2016. Any solutions?
Yes, lots of them if you scroll through the topic. Mine seems to be okay now (Windows 10, Office 365 Professional) but the guaranteed way to get rid of the problem is to stop using Microsoft software.
