Excel freezing for no reason
I can very well imagine how annoying it can be if you are prevented from continuing in the middle of your project. I can very well imagine how angry it can make you if you don't have the time for "such nonsense".
Nevertheless, every error correction always takes place after the error has been found.
The error can be varied, just as varied as the possibilities that Excel provides as a spreadsheet.
Therefore, I always ask for patience in advance, even if I know that this is actually not an option in such cases where an error occurs.
If I may recommend ....
Run Inquire to see if some formulas or links have errors.
Even if the updates are set to automatic, please update again manually. Some upgrades are displayed as updates, but it is not always set so that no matter which updates are carried out.
Perform an Office repair immediately after the updates.
The next step would be to start in safe mode and restart immediately afterwards.
If none of this helps either ... the last thing you could do is update the graphic drivers and readjust the monitor analysis. Sometimes the monitor analysis is smaller than that of the graphic map with the result that the graphic map analysis is set very high, but the monitor has problems displaying it. Especially with Excel, where the processor performance is concentrated on the calculations (mostly Excel is set so that all processors concentrate on the calculation), the whole PC can freeze.
If may notice, I've been using Excel 2016 Pro for years with an HP laptop without any previous problems with recognizing the software itself.
With my little Excel experience so far, most of the errors I have seen so far (and there are quite a few) excel is not itself the problem. But that's just my humble experience.

Thank you for your patience and time.
