Split from this thread.

Same issue in our office. All users with O365. It started over this past weekend (07/09/2022). Only Excel files when doing a Save As, Browse. Some users experience it with File Open.

All other applications work without issue. Nothing in event viewer shows any problems.

    Thanks for that link. I wasn't aware that behavior could be modified.

    Aside from that, stealth mode is an important security feature and I would not turn that off just to work-around a (temporary) bug in Outlook/Excel. Turning that feature off allows for easy reconnaissance of your Windows-based infrastructure.

    Adding an outbound rule on the clients does not increase my exposure so I'm sticking to that until this issue is solved.

    I suspect early October for the Current Channel and November 9th for the Enterprise Monthly Channel, but it is possible it may be earlier.

    Thank you Alex!!

    This has been plaguing me for months. While my users are on the semi-annual channel, I run the monthly updates to get a preview of what is to come.
