Power BI addon to Excel won't activate

Hello, I was doing an excel report connected to a Power BI report and when I changed the order of some field in the pivot table menu excel froze, after a bit it said it had to deactivate the Power BI plugin. Now I can't reactivate it.

 

I tried to do as mentioned in the documentation to reactive the plugin but it doesn't work.

"The Power BI publisher for Excel add-in is enabled by default, but if for some reason you don't see the Power BI ribbon tab in Excel, you'll need to enable it. Click File > Options > Add-ins > COM Add-ins. Select Microsoft Power BI Publisher for Excel."

 

I uninstalled the plugin and reinstall it.

 

When I click on COM Add-ins menu on Microsoft Power BI Publisher for Excel:

 

Location says: C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\mscoree.dll

Load Behavior says: Unloaded 

 

How to I change it to "Load at startup"?

 

FYI my excel version is 32-bits.

    Ah, my colleague was able to reactivate the plugin.

     

    I had to go in  File > Options > Add-ins > Disabled Items enable it then go back in File > Options > Add-ins > COM Add-ins to activate it!
