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.

    Just found this thread (finally) and have been having the same issues: Office 365, DFS. A few users are now on version 2210 (Build 15726.20174) and are experiencing the same issue, including myself. Anyone else still running into this?

    We have the Web Client disabled and the current user seeing the most issues has informed me that it is only intermittent now. She is on Release 2209.

    For anyone interested in this, we've had a response logging this through our Microsoft Premier Support agreement.

    I've bene advised that this is fixed in the Beta Channel release 2211. Not had a chance to validate this as we are running the Monthly Enterprise Channel (fix ETA Jan 23, Current Channel fix ETA Dec).

    I'm seeing Excel trying to connect to our domain controllers on port 80, not the file servers.

    Added an outbound port 80 block rule to clients and Excel save dialog pops up instantly.

    We have not found any permanent solutions. Still at the mercy of MS Developers to recognize the problem and fix.
