Task Scheduler not able to start Excel if user is not logged in (Windows 10 and Office 365)

Using Windows 10 and MS Office 365, the Task Scheduler is no longer able to start Excel if user is not logged in. I have successfully been running unattended Excel macros via Task Scheduler for about 6 months. They stopped working in mid Apr 2021. I eventually reverted to an older version of Office 365 (Mar 9th version). This fixed the problem. Now I'm stuck on an older version of Office 365 with updates turned off. Has anyone seen this problem and know of a better solution?

It seems you were lucky with your version of MS Office. All previous and current versions of Office required an active foreground user session to work.
