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 have the same questions, and it's a brand new XPS-13, latest gen. CPU, etc. My previous laptop is also an XPS-13, running Windows 10, so I have a really great base of comparison. The same Excel files under Windows 10, even on an older model, run m-u-c-h faster than on Windows 11. None of the fixes mentioned here really did the job (the accelerator change may have improved it a bit, but Excel is still very slow). I have a feeling that this has something to do with OneDrive sync under Windows 11, but I'm not sure how to disable it without messing out my setup. In any case, I have a feeling that when I'm not online (hence, OneDrive is not active), things are smoother. Does anyone know about this?
