Autosave makes Excel unresponsive every 2 mins

You may consider this:

1. Open the File from the Cloud Path

• Instead of opening the file from your local OneDrive folder, open it directly from the OneDrive web interface.
• This ensures Excel uses the correct cloud path and avoids sync confusion.

2. Ensure OneDrive Sync Health

• Open OneDrive and confirm the file shows a green checkmark (fully synced).
• If it shows syncing or error icons, resolve those first.
• Restart OneDrive or reset its cache if needed.

3. Avoid Linked Files or External References

• If your XLSB file links to other workbooks, especially those also stored in OneDrive, Excel may freeze during AutoSave.
• Try breaking links or consolidating data.

4. Disable Problematic Add-ins

• Go to File > Options > Add-ins, and disable non-essential add-ins.
• Some add-ins interfere with save operations and cloud sync.

5. Use Excel Online for Light Edits

• If feasible, open the file in Excel Online for quick edits. It handles AutoSave more gracefully.
