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?

Ever since the laterst Windows 11 Update my Excel has been slow. If I click on ANYTHING it takes about 5 seconds for the program to respond.
I tried the solution above 'Disable Hardware Acceleration' and I don't even have that option in my advanced menu.
Same problem! The same spreadsheet works fine on windows 10, locks up my new windows 11 machine. Extremely annoying !
Have the same problem and it's been going on since I installed Windows 11.
Same problem for months...
Tried eveything mentioned here, still freezing...
However I found out recently that by clicking on the horizontal "elevator" bar, it stops freezing, so I don't have to wait for minutes...
Hope this helps
It worked!!!! thanks so much for posting the help for all of us. Microsoft should have fixed this in 24 hours 6 months ago.
