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?

    For me, it only seems to be slow on files that have macros.

    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.

    Hi AjN3806,

    Appreciate your kind sharing of the resolution so that community members here can easily check the possible cause for the slow running issue in Excel. Also, hope this will help in any way: Use color and contrast for accessibility in Microsoft 365.

    For this potential issue, we will further investigate it to see if the issue is related to some specific Excel version. And it is also suggested to submit the feedback from your side so that the related product team will get informed if there have other users submitting a similar issue related to the Text cursor indicator setting in Windows11/10 with Office apps. See: How do I give feedback on Microsoft Office?

    Sorry for all the inconveniences it may have caused on your side. Hope a nice day for you!!

    Best Regards,

    Mia
