Excel 365 on Windows 11 extremely slow and constantly freezing

Anonymous

This problem started yesterday.

I installed the optional feature update and then the .NET update yesterday, and the problem appeared resolved, but now again today the problem is back?

When ever I change a table filter, Excel freezes for like at least 30 seconds. It's not specific to a particular spreadsheet, it happens on all spreadsheets.

The only other change I've made is change my mouse pointer color and cursor size?

Regards,

    I also worked for me. I have a Win11 Lenovo Thinkpad P1 with Quadro P2000 but after disabling the internal GPU Excel got really slow with files with less then 500kb. Thanks for the tip.

    Thanks Dave for your post, this was exactly my problem as well. I tried a bunch of the other solutions above but yours was the immediate answer. I also have a fairly new and high-end machine and I was struggling to select a column let alone add something up. I am still dumb founded that after paying all this money for a laptop and software that I have to spend a bunch of time trying to workout how to get the basic functions to work. The more advanced we become the less things work smoothly.

    Yes that is what I find as well

    Also generally works ok except when closing the file

    It now saves quickly - but if select close (either in menu or top right 'X' button then it more or less hangs

    I note in task view that the amount of memory being used build rapidly as well

    So I can use it fine now - so long as I don't close any workbooks.

    I do that at the end of the session - save each workbook then press cntrl-alt-del - select task view and close excel

    Hi AlehFast,

    Apologies, I've unmarked your answer as the solution to this problem, as it returned this morning.

    I've turned the "Text cursor indicator" setting back to Off.
