Excel not working properly since updating to Windows 11
I'm on Microsoft® Excel® for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2204 Build 16.0.15121.20000) 64-bit with Windows 11 and am still experiencing the same problems as you. It's intermittent but occurs regularly. I lose the ability to click on a cell to select it. Strangely, if I click the ribbon and wait for a tooltip to appear, the ability comes back and everything returns to normal. Sometimes I find it occurring if I hold down the right or left arrow keys to quickly move many cells at once.
Same here. But did not try waiting for the tool tip to appear.
My version of Excel is the latest

Another issue was a very long delay (>1min) when starting Excel from windows boot. A second Excel start is quick, though. This was due to a Dropbox addin. After removing it, Excel starts fine.
So, I suspect that Excel does not work well under Windows 11. No issues under Windows 10.
I hope they fix the non-response issue soon, otherwise, I will have to return to windows 10 on the two PCs I have although I am stuck with Windows 11 on a new PC.
Perhaps that's due to other software installed. I'm on Windows 11 for relatively long while, both with Excel on Current and Beta channels - no such issues.
Perhaps. However, when I fresh installed Windows 11 and installed only Office 365, the problem was there as well. Granted that there were pre-installed Dell software, but I don't think these were the culprits as my third PC is Microsoft Surface Book 3 with no such software installed and yet behaves the same way with Excel under Windows 11. I eliminated all the services that were running as possible, but was unable to eliminate the problem. So I believe that it is Excel 365 and Windows 11 not working well together, rather than other software or addin interference.
I do hope that Windows 11 updates will fix this sooner rather than later.
