The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file XLSMHTML or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected XLSMHTML files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.

Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file XLSMHTML to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the XLSMHTML file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
