Excel not working properly since updating to Windows 11
I have same issue - each time enter Excel the sheet is stalled until you go back to a previous Excel and then try again - this is really irritating and now time consuming
I also found that my headspeakers no longer work when plugged into laptop
Would be great if MS could tell us how to overcome these issues
What I found working to solve the Excel freeze issue. As soon as that happen, I just use the scroll bar at the bottom of sheet and just give it a quick move. PTLow
Chris Botha - Yes, I now do the same - move the horizontal scroll bar and it unfreezes. I'm happy to see the other replies that after downgrading to W10 the problem disappears as this shows it's truly a result of W11.
Interestingly, I was having problems with renaming tabs in Excel, but found the problem has largely disappeared. I hope this means that Microsoft is seeing some of these issues and fixing them. I've also noticed the sudden crashes have gone. The freezing problem is likely difficult as it's random and hard to replicate.
Yes, and minimizing and restoring Excel window, clicking on other opened Excel windows, if any, and click on the first sheet with the freezing issue, etc. Examples are listed in earlier posts. These are workarounds but it is incredibly annoying and renders Excel unusable when this happens constantly. there must be a permanent solution. I found one in my two PCs that were upgraded from W10. DOWNGRADE to Windows 10 and the problem is no more. The current and the newest PC I have came with Windows 11 and I can not downgrade this one. I wish I could.
- It is very annoying. And also since I have installed WIndows 11 I have to reboot my laptop every time it starts up as it does not detect the WiFi (I can't even open network settings)
Chris Botha Fortunately have not had that problem - however my headphones no longer work no matter what I try.
- Thank you - I will try !
