Hi there, Team!
I am running Office 2019 (Excel v1808, Build 10378.20029) and Win 10 21H1 (Build 19043.1237). Yesterday, I ran a manual check for updates on my Office suite, just to see if it was good. It did find/install some updates. Today, as I am trying to paste data with embedded URLs into my Excel workbook, I am seeing it freeze as soon as I mouse over the Paste/format options (I don't even have to select anything). I have looked for Add-ins (none enabled), tried looking at Trust Center settings (no change in behavior), tested the copy/paste from different sources, and even tried running Excel in Safe mode--no change. Is there anything else I should check or try?

Yeah, before I posted this, I did run a repair of Office. That also did not help.
I have a similar Excel-related issue where an Excel spreadsheet will not open. I found that if the hyperlinks within are removed (found a PC that would allow the spreadsheet to open) then the file opens. So, I am seeing commonality with the hyperlinks causing Excel to not open. Is there some security feature that would cause this? I am not aware of one...
