    If Excel disappeared from the PC, the supported fixes are to reinstall Office and check whether the Office product is still available on the Microsoft account.

    1. Check Windows Update first:
      • Select Start.
      • Type Windows Update.
      • Select Check for updates.
      • If updates are available, select Install.
    2. Reinstall Office from the Microsoft account:
      • Close all Office apps.
      • Go to Services & subscriptions.
      • Find the Office product.
      • Select Install.
      • Choose the install options and complete the installation.
    3. If Office is installed but Excel is missing, update Office:
      • Open another Office app such as Word.
      • Select File > Account.
      • Under Product Information, select Update Options > Update Now.
      • When the update finishes, check the Start menu again for Excel or Access.
    4. If reinstall does not work, uninstall and reinstall Office:
      • Use the Microsoft uninstall troubleshooter.
      • Run it on the same Windows PC that has the Microsoft 365 or Office product.
      • Restart the PC when prompted.
      • Then reinstall Office.
    5. If this happened after a Windows Recovery reset, reinstall Office by following the ReadMe file placed on the desktop after recovery.

    A Windows update should not remove Office from the PC. If the Office license is still listed in the Microsoft account, reinstalling from Services & subscriptions is the documented path.
