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 tried the same, but my Excel is still very slow. It's frustrating to work with now. I'm using google sheets until they can fix it.

    Using some of the suggestions here, I went to Excel Options and disabled the "Linked In" feature (Why, oh why, would this be enabled automatically?) and also changed the multiple displays to "Optimize for Compatibility." This completely solved the problem, and Excel acts as it did before the Windows 11 "improvement."

    Hi, I tried this and it worked for me. Excel was fast far a few days but now its extremely laggy again. Any ideas on how to resolve this once-for-all?
