Verifying Microsoft Excel, Word etc

Every time I go to use Excel or Word a little house icon appears saying 'Verifying Microsoft Excel' and it takes several minutes to 'verify'. This is really frustrating. I've ensured that the Microsoft apps have full disc access.

Can anyone help?

Microsoft Office Apps Verification Process After Updates I've seen this question posted all over the place for a long time. There is a simple solution without messing with MS security. When MS Office updater updates and an app should immediately verify in the background so that when you go to use the app, it opens as quickly the 2nd time after the app has been verified. What's the big deal? Steve Koutros

Is there a way to have updated software to be verified automatically after the update? MS Office programs are frequently updated. After each update, when you start them, you waste 3-5 minutes staring at the message "Verifying MS word" or similar. Sometimes you are about to enter a meeting and cannot spare that time. Why can't the system verify the software automatically and silently after each update rather than when you restart the software?

code signing works well - but the app shows damaged (gatekeeper spctl check fails) Hello, We are working on a project which uses code signing to sign the application. While building the app code signing works well with a valid certificate and apple developer id. But somehow the package when opened shows as damaged. We tried debugging gatekeeper spctl check by following command. spctl -a -vvv -t install MyApp.app We are able to get accepted for same package on one mac machine , but for one of the other machines we face this error for above command . MyApp.app : a sealed resource is missing or invalid We are facing this issue on macos ventura and not on bigsur. The macos version is 13.6 . Please help us understand the cause for this inconsistency . I will be appreciative for response on this thread.

Is Microsoft Excel and Apple product or Microsoft?

Is that the answer Microsoft support told you when you contacted them about their software?
