    I don't understand the root cause and it isn't very pleasant, but I think it's something to do with how Excel interacts with my computer internally. Regardless, here's some things that may work for anyone who may have this issue and what kinda works for me.

     

    1. WIN+Ctrl+Shift+B (refresh graphics card).

    2. For a laptop, shut the lid and wait a moment then open it again (this will stop the issue for me most of the time unless it's completely frozen but for some reason, my internet is completely inoperable afterward unless I restart my PC). For a desktop, try unplugging your monitor then plug back in.

    3. Reinstall (repair) office through Programs on Control Panel (won't affect your files).

    4. Force shut down your PC then turn it back on.

     

    Aside from unhelpful research, those were some things I did to take action on the issue. Please reply with any other or better solutions to my problem, even if it's hardware related.
