Microsoft Excel 365 HUGE Memory Leak (50 GB RAM)
Hi! I read this article yesterday and I was wondering if you could take a look at a very tiny program I created in Microsoft Excel. I can email you the Excel file if you are interested. T...
Hello,
I'm testing new solution:
1. Download and install Microsoft Support and Recovery Assistant for Office 365 - https://aka.ms/SaRA-officeUninstallFromPC
2. Use SaRA to uninstall Office 365.
3. Use "regedit" to delete HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office
4. Reboot your PC and install Office 365 (I used my OfficeSetup.exe from July 2022)
5. Check for updates in Excel (File > Account > ... )

I've uninstalled and reinstalled a few times with sara. It was always better for a while afterward but the issue still came back. I think I did the regedit at some point as well but I'm not 100% on that. I was about to do this again so I'll make sure to add the regedit step and see how it goes.
- So far ok but I haven't run it hard today. I did the full reinstall. Definitely didn't do the regedit before as I had to re link Gmail etc to outlook and I hadn't done that on the previous reinstalls.
- My Excel works OK for 2 days!
Sheets eats 80-115MB memory, was 250-600MB!
How is your situation?
