I am new to this forum, and found it after googling the Excel problem.  I too am experiencing problems with Excel after upgrading to Windows 11.  I was reluctant to upgrade due to this type of concern.

 

Excel is very frequently unresponsive and basically freezes.  I believe I have noticed a progress bar labeled "Rows" at the bottom that very slowly fills up.

 

I am starting a project next week, and am considering uninstalling Windows 11 if that is possible.

This problem is not limited Excel. It happens in Word and other Office 365 apps. They periodically report "Not responding." If I wait a minute or so, they come back to life. I'm on a brand new high-end HP laptop with gobs of RAM and 10T of storage, and a large SSD C: drive. Original factory install of Windows 11. There's a problem here related to the Office suite.
