Excel High CPU Behavior
Excel starts behaving crazy when CPU is high. It causes the workbook to freeze, become non-responsive or start doing funny things it has never done before. This has been an issue since I started work...
That’s a really good point. Excel can slow down when CPU usage stays high, especially with big files or lots of formulas. Try turning off automatic calculation in the Formulas tab and save your data in smaller files. Also check if any add-ins or background apps are using too much power. If it still freezes, how can I check if there’s a bottleneck between the CPU and memory causing the slowdown?
