How do I get Excel 2016 to open Jira issues exported in Excel format?

I exported JIRA issues to an Excel file. Excel 2016 cannot open the file - tried multiple permutations. "Open with Repair" in Excel doesn't work either. Has anyone figured out how to get Excel 2016 to open a file exported from Jira?

Nailed it! Not a bug per se - it seem some security settings were updated when I installed 2016. There were no prompts or warnings when the file was being blocked - just opened up blank.

I'd agree that the flaw might not be a bug, per se, but "not bothering to tell the user why I'm losing them time and data" is.
