Unfortunately, this solution is not working for me, I had already all these boxes unchecked and I still receive the message that my files are corrupted and this happens so often, that I always need to create several copies every time when I save an Excel file. I'm using Windows 10 and Office 365 the most recent version.

Thank you! Was having this issue for a while. Resorted to opening files in Google Sheets then copying into Excel. Wasn't great. Your solution works a treat :)

Had the same error and solution was similar but not the same.
At step 4 I instead had to go to Trusted Locations and check "Allow trusted locations on my network." I then had to click "Add new location" and add the location of the supposedly corrupt file to the trusted locations list.

Posting my solution here in case it helps anyone else.
