Excel not working properly since updating to Windows 11
I don't think it is a VBA problem as I don't have any. The problem seems to come from Nvidia's graphic card and Windows 11. Unfortunately, I think that only Microsoft is able to repair it but they haven't even acknowledged the issue after nearly 1 year of complaints. This is baffling as Excel is a working tool for many of us and sometimes is borderline unusable.
I don't know how to make them notice, but if somebody does, feel free to help as it seems to be the only way to fix this.
Thank you
I do simple VBA Excel programming.
Since installation of Windows 11 the message box I add typically for troubleshooting pops up as a transparent display box.
The useless thing will park its carcass on the screen for 15 seconds and more. Eventually, after a while, before seemingly forever, it may display the message. Or, it may not. At the least, the worksheet cells underneath are viewable but not accessible.
The hourglass will wear out eventually.
There is no Option to turn off graphics acceleration.
My Dell laptop (Tag 1P1LX33) was bought for simple word and worksheet work. So, no special graphics hardware I'm aware of.
Except for the above obnoxious and expensive (my time) bug I have not yet stumbled across any other issues since ill-advisedly "upgrading" from Windows 10.
And, I thought all these Microsoft upgrade screw-ups had disappeared after Windows 3.3!
