XLS PadLock Error: The Add-in Has Fired an exception

Did this error occur without any warning? Did you install or update something recently? Because it was working before, right?
 
I uninstall Microsoft Office 2013 and installed the newly purchased of 2016 office.
I do some more testing and discovered the error only appear if an empty spreadsheet was open, 3 times error appeared and If I ignore by clicking the ok button, then I am allowed to go into excel.
If a spreadsheet with data was opened, there isn’t any error at all.

Please advise.

Just to be sure, does this occur in XLS Padlock itself or in an EXE file? We still haven’t been able to reproduce the problem with the same environment as yours.
 
It occurs when a blank new Spreadsheet was executed.
Disable xlspadlock (from add-in not uninstall) in Excel with blank spreadsheet will work.
Enable xlspadlock in Excel with an already contain data spreadsheet will also work too.

Both xlsplpref.xml and xsplprefer.xml files deleted doesn’t help. The error still occurs.

By the way, I am using MS Office Professional Plus 2016 HUP License.
I have removed and reinstalled MS Office again and no improvement.
