Why are my excel popup windows transparent?

Hey Everyone,

I have tried the below-mentioned two steps suggested by Microsoft and my issue has been resolved. Now I can not see any transparent delayed pop-ups. The Excel is working fine now.

As the problem (pop-up dialogue windows transparent) can be caused by different reason, I will appreciate you can try the normal troubleshooting steps 1 by 1 below and tell us the result.

1.You can open your Excel applications in safe mode to check whether it related to add-ins:

Right-click the Start button (lower-left corner) in Windows and click Run.

In the Runbox, type the command: excel /safe, and click OK.

Note: To stop Office Safe Mode, exit and restart your Office application. It will start in normal mode unless there's a problem opening the application.

If this situation disappeared in Safe Mode, then this issue could be caused by the incompatible add-ins, you can disable add-ins by this way: Open Excel>add-ins>Disable add-ins. For reference: disable application add-ins and COM add-ins

2.Try disabling hardware graphics acceleration for Excel application 

start Excel application>click on the File tab> Options>Advanced> under Display select/click the Disable hardware graphics acceleration check box.

I have the same problem with excel2021 running on new computer with windows 11. Is there a permanent fix/patch?

Great idea but did not work at all for me. When exactly did we become beta testers?

This;

It has to do with the transparency effects in settings-accessibility-visual effects-transparency effects in Windows 11. If you turn this option off, the problem goes away. Seems like a Windows 11 problem but not sure it's not really an Office problem.

Thank you.
