I Solved this issue doing this. So i finally rid off of the excel starting automatically.
- Disable "Open Excel Workbook Gallery when application opens". this is under Excel>Preferences>General.
- On you dock locate the Excel Icon, press control and click over the excel icon, a new windon will popup, choose options and the ENABLE the option "OPEN AT LOGIN" and release the control button.
- Repeat item 2 but this time DISABLE the option "OPEN AT LOGIN".
It might be a bug on Excel, you know MICROSUCK and their famous bugs !!!!.
Good luck, hopefully this will solve your problem.

Thank you @Dave Rochester.
Works for me.
There is an even simpler solution to this one. I have tried everything when I googled and also what I have read in this post and it didn't work.
When I logged out I noticed there is a check box asking if you want to re-open programmes in login - just uncheck this box and your problem is solved.
It worked for me. Hope it works for you too.
Thanks Mark, you solved an real buggy issue that neither Apple nor Microsoft could. They kept pointing fingers at each other, however, Apple did say the support group might have an answer. 🙂
Thank you sooooooo much finaly all I did when I restart my computer I uncheck the box and Voila just like a magic 🙂
Thanks, It's no problem but It really starts to get annoying. Such obvious fix but I can't tell my left from right :/
This doesn't work at all!!! It caused all of my Microsoft Office programs to stop working. 😟 Trying to get Apple Support to help me now. Sigh...
Worked for me. Thank you!
