I have certain excel (.xlsx) files which open fine in Excel 365 but not Excel 2024 LTS(32Bit)

When I try open the file in 2024, I get a message saying Excel found a problem with some content and offers to recover the file. If I say yes then the spreadsheet will open and I get a popup message saying unreadable content was removed and I get a list of items that were removed.

Removed Feature: Workbook properties from /xl/workbook.xml part (Workbook)
Removed Feature: Worksheet properties from /xl/worksheets/sheet2.xml part
Removed Feature: Worksheet properties from /xl/worksheets/sheet3.xml part

This doesn't happen in Excel 365?
