I originally thought the issue was due to files with initial Event macros that ran when the workbook opened. I need the 64 bit version because I have extremely large workbook files even though the files that crash the system are not particularly large. My version of Excel 2016 is the 64 bit Enterprise version, everyone else is on the 32 bit Enterprise version of Excel 2016. Once someone else saves it, I can open it fine, and it may not crash again for months.

No changes are needed, they just open, save, and exit the workbook. The files that crash do not normally crash, only once in a while, but once they crash they will not open without crashing UNTIL: I have someone else open the file, and re-save it.

The crash does occur on specific workbooks that contain macros (not Add-Ins - but my Excel starts up with many add-ins loaded - does not crash on most files even those with Macros). In addition, the symptoms do not match exactly to those on the earlier topic. I cannot downgrade to an earlier version due to the Walgreen's policy on Enterprise systems.
