Suddenly excel slows down or crashes with history files

Good morning,
I am a italian A1 volleyball data analyst (female) and I use Excel to create my match sheets. Opening one of my files in the last few days the file blocks the application or slows it down so much that it is not possible to use them. I have w11 and Office 365 personal updated to the latest versions. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled Office 365 but the problem persists. Opening the file from "Libre Office" there are absolutely no problems and I have been using these files for at least 3 years in Excel.

  • I'm experiencing the same issue since last week with several users in my organization.
    We're running the latest version of Microsoft Office 365 on Windows 11.

    I've already tried several steps:

    Quick and online repair

    Full reinstallation

    Complete uninstall using REVO Uninstaller

    Even after all that, Excel still freezes or becomes unresponsive for multiple users.

    I've tested various scenarios, but the issue persists.
    This thread is currently the only one I've found with other users reporting the same behavior, so I'm following here in case any solution or workaround is found.

    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

    Hi, I am an (italian) IT consultant and in the last few days several clients have reported to me the same problem always and only on Excel, while the other sui Office applications work correctly.
    I have done a thousand tests but nothing to solve, I think at this point it is a Microsoft problem and not the individual installations.

    Difficult to say without seeing your file. Can you save it to OneDrive or similar and share the link that gives access to it here?
