outfile = 'mydata.xlsx';
dinfo = dir('*.xlsx');
filenames = setdiff({dinfo.name}, outfile);
for K = 1 : length(filenames)
thisfile = filenames{K};
[~, basename, ~] = fileparts(thisfile);
T = readtable(thisfile);
writetable(T, outfile, 'sheet', basename);
end

l guess it is because we use readtable and writetable.
That seems unlikely to be the reason, but you can try xlsread() / xlswrite() anyhow.
outfile = 'mydata.xlsx';
dinfo = dir('*.xlsx');
filenames = setdiff({dinfo.name}, outfile);
for K = 1 : length(filenames)
thisfile = filenames{K};
[~, basename, ~] = fileparts(thisfile);
[~, ~, raw] = xlsread(thisfile);
xlswrite(outfile, raw, basename);
end
