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,

    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.
