AutoCad 2021 Excel File with Embedded DWG Edit Error Message

[chrishutchinson6848]

I embed DWG files into Excel to create graphics for data sheets.  Since installing AutoCAD 2021 I get a error message (see embedded screen shot) in AutoCad 2021 when I double click on the embedded DWG in Excel (sample attached).  I click OK and continue to edit the DWG in AutoCad 2021 and close it to update the Excel file.  This is just a nuisance error.

Thanks,

Close AutoCAD, empty your windows login temp folder (that you masked) as much as your Windows session will let you, restart AutoCAD and try it again.

Thank you Pendean clearing the temp folder FIXED the problem!

What led you to that solution?  

Good to know the solution (thank you) curious how you knew.

Two things:
1) screenshot shows a link to the user's login temp folder (nothing should be pointing there).
2) Similar topic came up a few days back.
