Why the Excel Analysis Toolpak is NOT loading once I click it?

I use Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 in windows 8.1.

Recently, I noticed that if I click on the Data Analysis Toolpak in Excel 2013, it doesn't LOAD the dialog box with the list of standard statistical operations, such as ANOVA, Regression, etc.

I need to make it clear, in my case, the Data Analysis Toolpak is visible under Data Tab, along with the Solver Add-in.

Also, Excel Toolpak and Excel VBA Toolpak are available on the list of Active Add-ins in Options---> Add-ins.

And, solver add-in is loading normally but not the excel toolpak add-in, once I click it.

Also, I even tried to deselect the Excel Toolpak from the list of active add-ins and again reactivated it later.

And finally, what I noticed is that the above issue happens when I open excel by typing excel in the Start---> Run window.

But, if I click the desktop icon of Excel 2013, then, the Analysis Toolpak and Solver loads normally, if I click on them.

So, why this difference in opening the Excel Toolpak Add-in for the same software, when loaded in a different manner?
