Split from this thread.

Same issue in our office. All users with O365. It started over this past weekend (07/09/2022). Only Excel files when doing a Save As, Browse. Some users experience it with File Open.

All other applications work without issue. Nothing in event viewer shows any problems.

    The Problem area for me is with Excel, Outlook, and MS Project, Word seems to be fine. It only happens on the first Save or if you exit out and back in and try to save again, about 10-15 sec delay. Its becoming a big problem. Roll back not an option! Let's go Microsoft!

    Same problem here, 35 employees complaining now for a few weeks. We have Documents redirected to a file server share (we don't use DFS). Connecting takes 30 seconds in Outlook 365, Outlook 2016 and in Excel 365 and Excel 2016. Word is doing fine. Problem is the same on Windows 10 and Windows 11. Rolling back Office is not an option, we need a fix!

    Microsoft told us that they were aware of the problem.

    But did not told us any version target...

    So, everybody that communicates with Microsoft is welcome, to keep that problem as a high priority...

    Do we have any official response from MS? Not seeing this issue listed yet in beta channel.
