Solutions (Try in this order)
πΉ Solution 1: Change the Zoom to a stable percentage
At the bottom-right corner of Excel, change the zoom to:
100% (best)
90%
80%
Zoom levels like 125% often cause rendering issues exactly like the one in your screenshots.
πΉ Solution 2: Turn off Freeze Panes
Go to:
View β Freeze Panes β Unfreeze Panes
Then try resizing the column again.
πΉ Solution 3: Switch to Normal View
Go to:
View β Normal
If you are in Page Layout View, resizing columns can distort the entire sheet.
πΉ Solution 4: Clear Filters
Sometimes filters cause redraw glitches.
Go to:
Data β Clear Filters
Then resize the column again.
πΉ Solution 5: Fix Windows Display Scaling
Go to:
Settings β Display β Scale
Set it to:
100% (recommended)
Or 125%
Then restart Excel.
