All MSFT Excel files are opening with this prompt - "this file has been renamed we recommend saving it now to get the new name" Nothing has been changed - how do I stop this from happening?

Thank you for the information!

"This file has been renamed. We recommend saving it now to get the new name." I X out of this message. Then I get an i in a blue circle and this message "We need you to save the file to finish renaming it. Add-ins and VBA might not work until you save. Save in a white box." I save and then exit. I then reopen the same file an X in a red circle and the message "UPLOAD BLOCKED We ran into a problem with this file and can't save any new changes. Please save a copy to avoid losing your work" with 2 options "Save a Copy" or "Discard Changes". I saved a copy with a different name and then reopen it and it's the same issue.

My version is up to date and it's called Microsoft Office Home and Student 2016.

I am in the same bucket, can you please advice how to get this fixed. Also I am getting the same issues with MS word aslo.

I have found a work around that seems to be working. I now turn off the synch while working on excel spreadsheets and saving them manually. When I switch the synch back on it then works normally and updates to the cloud.

Same issue here...anyone know how to solve?

I just want to add my name to the list of people with this same problem. It is highly irritating. I may try turning One Drive off or pausing it to see if that works.
