Reader Question: Why isn't my Excel 2016 default workbook loading?

The Windows Secrets Lounge -- free and open to anyone who wants to read or post -- is a place for lively discussion, troubleshooting and debate on Microsoft topics from the operating systems to the applications and services. Sometimes, posters ask questions that deserve a wider audience. We're bringing you those queries here.

Poster CWBillow asks:

I have a workbook, book.xltx in the folder C:\Users\CWBillow\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel\ XLSTART.

If I go there and right-click and open it, all looks fine. But if I just start Excel, the template isn't being used. What am I doing wrong here?

Can you answer CWBillow's question? You can dish in the comments, or head on over to this thread in the Windows Secrets Lounge and speak up.
