Excel 365 on Windows 11 extremely slow and constantly freezing

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 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!!!!!

    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 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
