Excel COM add is not loading during startup and have to add it manually:

Excel COM add-in is not loading when I start Excel, and I have to add it manually every time. When I check under File > Options > Add-ins > Manage > COM Add-ins, I see that the add-in is ‘Unloaded.’ I’m not sure how to make it load automatically at startup.

Solution:

  1. Go to Start and type “regedit” to open the Registry Editor.
  2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Excel\Addins.
  3. Find SapExcelAddin and change the value of LoadBehaviour to 3. This add-in was not loading at startup for me (the picture is just an example).
  4. Close the Registry Editor and reopen it to make sure the value hasn’t changed.
  5. Restart Excel.
