Excel pauses

Copper Contributor

Does anyone know why Excel pauses momentarily while using.  This issue just started a few weeks ago, but seems to be getting worse.  I will be entering data and Excel just stops working for a few seconds, then it starts back and enters the data.  It is though it pauses

Perhaps it recalculates something. Is that on some specific file or on any file?

It is not on a specific file and it is completely random. I may just be pushing the tab for another file/worksheet and it pauses. I cannot find any catalyst for the pause except me trying to enter data or change files.

I'd check in safe mode and if in it is the same try to repair Office.

How do I "repair Office"? I have an online subscription.

How to repair is here Repair an Office application (microsoft.com). I assume you work with the app, not with Excel for web in browser.

Thank you, I will give this a try.
