I know, it is totally weird. I am so glad it helped, it is sooo frustrating! :D

Thank you so much Maja. I deleted an old printer driver for a big copier that has long been disconnected, and now I can open the notebook fine. Weird that the issue didn't show up until now.

It seems that this error is somehow related to printer drivers for Windows. I know it does not make any sense, but after reinstalling the printer drivers the error vanished. I hope this helps!

I got the same error on a Notebook I created that worked fine last month. I'm still on 11.0.1.0 for Windows. Had the same vibrating error message you described too!

Guess I need to get my IT dept to let me upgrade; hopefully that will solve the problem.

If the above still produces the error, you can display only a part of your Notebook, for example the following will display only first 3 cells (or cell groups) of the Notebook:

NotebookPut[Take[nb, {1}, {1, UpTo@3}]];

Using partial rendering you can finally find which part of the notebook causes the error.

See below, I tried something similar, but with a help of another computer. The file itself opened in notepad, so now, looking back, I assume that maybe changing the file extension could have solved the issue.

I tried it, but it does the same thing.

You can try to Get the low-level Notebook code and then display it programmatically:

nb = Get["/path/to/myNotebook.nb"];
NotebookPut[nb];
