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,

    Doesn't seem to be the text cursor indicator. Mine is off, still have issues. On large Excel files, which worked fine before (under Win10), Excel freezes.

    Hello.

    With Windows 11 Excel has been really slowly, every operation cause "not responding" and then work. Bad, really bad.

    We have had the same problem as well.

    I turned off the option that hooks LinkedIn to office in the settings menu and instant speed improvement...well after a restart!

    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.

    So far so good. I have even turned back on the "Text cursor indicator" setting, and Excel isn't freezing.

    Now I need to fix the lag in Windows Explorer!
