Win 10 version 21H2 Build 19044.1706

Excel 2016 Version 2204 Build 15128.20224

This problem occurs randomly and with only a few cells being copied. The spreadsheet locks up and the only way out is Save>Close and open the book again. Sometimes that doesn't work and I have to close Excel completely.

Sometimes the top ribbon completely greys out and I can't do anything.

This is becoming a significant problem.

    That's fine if you're on Win 11. What about Win 10?

    Hi there guys.

    This issue seems to have been sorted out by Microsoft, applying the latest updates. At least, it works well for me.

    I have not changed the previous setup. Is it working for you guys?

    Regards.

    (In prior aid from others, a Process gets started under Task Master

    gets interrupted and leaves process hanging)

    Good explanation on net. Handling this eliminated bad system behavior.

    MS 365 even calmed down.

    I hope this helps.

    I have MSA 365 on win 10 and copying a lot of interaction with Excel

    and Word.

    I had success with turning off Fast Start

    and Settings > Accounts > Sign-in Options. Scroll down to the Restart Apps section and set the “Automatically

    Fixing Task Manager (Ctl+alt+ Delete)

    delete processes under Task Manager then delete Task Manager.

    (Hits on search will have more detail)

    Reboot

    Task Manager will be clean.

    If still have problems

    Control Panel> Mail > identify conflicts there.

    Good Luck
