    I was now able to solve this problem. Turns out that the Firewall was considering the Microsoft.Mashup.Container.NetFX45.exe as a ransomware and shut it off. Hence everytime in Query Editor the data was refreshed or an excel was imported the error message popped up. My computer has Sophos End Point Agent. The firewall was then given a provisional rule for this exe file to access C drive and problem was solved.

    thanks all for giving it a try.
