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?

    I have a slightly different problem. My Excel only hangs when I tried to Save As for a document that I worked on. The excel will not respond and I have to eventually close the program. My only workaround right now is to copy the file and change the name. Any suggestion is welcomed. Thanks

    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

    I am having the same problem with Excel 365 after recently upgrading to WIndows 11. Very unresponsive, seems to freeze for a minute or so before I can do anything with it. I even split up some larger files hoping that it would help, but it has not.

    Disappointing to say the least. 😠 I even "disabled hardware graphics acceleration". Still freezes up.

    Thank you EmmanuelTRIPIER, I have been following your advice to clicking on the horizontal "elevator" bar, and it seems to help, although I have to do this repeatedly and is is very frustrating.

    PLEASE...MICROSOFT...FIX THIS ISSUE!!!!!
