If you right click on the status bar you can configure what data shows in it.<br />
<br />

<hr />
»<b><i>bp</i></b>
</div>


<div>
Can you explain further, perhaps upload a screen capture. &nbsp;It sounds like the status bar is visible, so what information is it displaying, and what information is it not displaying that you expect it to?<br />

Odd, seems like it should be, based on that simple example. &nbsp;Does it happen on all workbooks now, even pre-existing ones?<br />

<div>
Yes. &nbsp;My existing workbooks + any new spreadsheets.
</div>


<div>
Have you had any macro enabled files open that might have put messages on the Status Bar?<br />
<br />
If so, it seems like it hasn't reset properly since.<br />
<br />
Try running this little bit of code<br />

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-42836822-1"><span>Sub Reset()</span>
<span>Application.StatusBar = False</span>
<span>End Sub</span>
</code></pre>
</div>


<div>
Sorry I tried this as both true and false with no luck.
