Excel not working properly since updating to Windows 11
I updated to Windows 11 several months ago and everything seemed to be working fine on my Office 365, but just today, the display when I use Excel seems to have gone all buggy. Like others on this thread, after I press "Enter" upon inputting data or text in a cell, the text goes white, and doesn't show up again until I minimize the window and enlarge it again. The other strange thing that is happening now is that the row number next to cells which have data in them along with the column letters along the top are "whited out" too. These remain unreadable even after the minimizing-enlarging step. I have another computer that is still operating on Windows 10 and it has no such problems, so it appears to be some kind of incompatibility with Windows 11. Why it suddenly started acting up like this after several months of normal use is a real mystery.
Juchikura I am experiencing the same sort of problem with Excel 365, but in addition the entire bottom row of worksheet tabs is missing/whited-out. There are left and right arrows which don't function clearly, and ellipses (three dots)... When the row and column labels get whited-out (which for me happens when the mouse is moved over them) and then I scroll the worksheet vertically or horizontally, the whited-out row and column labels get repeated in a similar pattern across the newly exposed rows or columns. There is no way to work in these conditions! I cannot even get to the correct worksheet because those tabs are missing/whited-out for selection. This all started happening just three days ago, shortly after installing Windows 11. I look forward to discovering a solution; I will try repairing Office / Excel 365.
...and now, without having done anything, the problem seems to have suddenly disappeared. Nice! Yet so irritating, not knowing if it will just "jump back into chaos" tomorrow...
