Failed to launch server application - Excel Lockup

[thomas.chilson]

I hope someone out there can help, Up until yesterday placing Excel worksheets into a drawing was no problem at all and worked great. Now when trying to place and OLE into a drawing or trying to edit an older drawing OLE I get "Failed to launch server application" I have done the following in an attempt to correct the issue and these have been found on the Autodesk site as well through a google search. 

Update all software

- Windows

- Autocad

- Microsoft 365

Uninstalled and reinstalled Autocad

Reinstalled Microsoft 365

At this point I am at a loss and losing time on client projects, hopefully there is someone out there that can help.

Dumb question: restart your PC yet?

Are you using BlueBeam by chance or just install it? https://www.autodesk.com/support/technical/article/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Failed-to-launch-s...

Otherwise... Here is how to open a support case with Autodesk if you are on subscription to seek out Autodesk Support's help:
