Solver Add-In very slow after updating to Windows 11

Has anyone experienced a significant slow-down using the solver add-in (Excel, Office 365) after upgrading to Windows 11?  Before, my model would run in less than a second.  Now it takes about 15-30 seconds to run a simple iteration.  Has anybody else experienced anything similar to this?  Any ideas for solutions?

 

Thanks!

    Solver completely disappeared for my when I upgraded to Win 11. I have been trying to get it back for the last 30 min. If anyone knows how to get solver back, please let me know. torszulak

    torszulakAs of November 2022, brand new AMD 7000 series based computer with Windows 11, intense Solver operation is 33% slower than AMD 5000 series computer with Windows 10. Not acceptable so long after Windows 11 release and running on a chip that is at least 20% faster frequency wise. Please fix this MS!

    torszulakMy experience is a current gen AMD machine ran solver 1/3 slower than a last generation machine running Windows 10. Downgrade solved issue but not seeing much exploration into why or a fix. Unbelievable
