no links/VBA/addons, but : Microsoft excel waiting for another application to complete an ole action
Hi, Excel stops working about every 20 minutes for a few minutes -I just have to wait - and then this message pops up: ""microsoft excel waiting for another application to complete an ole action"...

This happens to me once a while after I close Excel. The notice either would not allow me to close the application or prevent me from opening it.
My workaround has always been to open up Task Manager and end all Excel sessions only. I found this to work all the time although a few times active files are closed and I lose some data. Nothing brutal so far.

Same problem for me.
Posting here since I don't know where to look for a solution anymore.
Hope Microsoft will take care of this very soon.
