OpenXML not opening a .xlsx (latest version) file on the windows server due to missing document properties, however if you open that file on your local system and you upload it on server then it works because all the properties got created when you opened it.

on the server when application trying to open the file it is going under catch block of FileFormatException.

Also the same file works when I run my console application on local system.

Why that file going under catch on the server?

The excel file has only one node under /docProps/app.xml

XML

<ap:Properties xmlns:vt="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/docPropsVTypes" xmlns:ap="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/extended-properties" />

The same excel file also not getting open with ClosedXML.

What I have tried:

Nothing has been tried yet as it works fine on local system.

Have you checked the contents of the xlsx file using 7-zip?
Maybe there are no rows of data in the file.

when you open it on local computer it doesn't show any error or mistake.

if you would use an unzip program on the file you could see the inner xml content. That might give the clue to your error.
