JosvaBS I've found a work around. Today I had a sheet with a plot causing the memory leak every time the plot appeared or reapperead when navigating in the sheet.
Since many seems to have 4k screens I tried setting the resolution to full HD (1920x1080) and with this resolution the sheet worked fine! Setting the resolution back to 4k caused the leak to happen again.
It is quite a bad workaround having to look at full hd on a 4k screen..

- tomoam2Nov 10, 2022Copper ContributorOn my computer, the problem has returned. I noticed slower scrolling/refreshing in Excel. This time it was easy because I knew what I was installing recently (Windows Update + latest nVidia Studio driver).
Fix:
1) Delete HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office
= placebo effect, maybe 5% better, you may skip this
2) Reinstall nvidia latest "Game Ready" driver with "Perform a clean installation" selected
= it helped for me

tomoam2 that's annoying. Mine has been fine (fingers crossed) since adopting the registry edit you suggested in the uninstall/reinstall process. I'm hoping it stays that way.
