Since I have updated my PC to windows 11 Excel has not been working properly. Every 5 min the sheets seem to be unresponsive when I click on a tab or anywhere on the excel page. To make it work again I have to constantly reduce the window and reopen it. This is very frustrating as it happens very often. I have tried to start excel in safe mode or disable add-ins but the bug continues.
I don't seem to be the only person with who this is happening. A friend of mine is also having the same issue. Excel is my main tool of work and some days it is just unusable anymore where I have to reduce and reopen the window for every formula I am typing. I have tried to reinstall as well as repair Office several times but nothing seems to work.
Under windows 11, the mouse pointer in Excel occasionally does not work anywhere inside the excel sheet. Normally when you point it to an area inside the sheet the pointer turns to a cross to accept input. When it does not work, it stays as a pointer and no input is possible. When this happens, the following brings it back to life
I have three PCs that show this exact problem. Two were upgraded from Windows 10 (supported hardware and ungraded via the Windows upgrade channel), and the third is a new PC that came with Windows 11.
Sometimes, it is so bad and I can not work on any sheet, and almost every cell entry is frozen and needed to be brought back using the above two methods. I don't think the Microsoft help team knows what the problem is and thinks that online repair will fix it. Well, it did not and I think the problem is with Windows 11, not Excel.
I'm on Microsoft Excel for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2204 Build 16.0.15121.20000) 64-bit with Windows 11 and am still experiencing the same problems as you. It's intermittent but occurs regularly. I lose the ability to click on a cell to select it. Strangely, if I click the ribbon and wait for a tooltip to appear, the ability comes back and everything returns to normal. Sometimes I find it occurring if I hold down the right or left arrow keys to quickly move many cells at once.
Yes, same here I have spoken with Microsoft Help 4 times and they clearly do not understand what is happening or what the issue is. One of the times they even made my PC unusable, really disappointed by them...
Perhaps. However, when I fresh installed Windows 11 and installed only Office 365, the problem was there as well. Granted that there were pre-installed Dell software, but I don't think these were the culprits as my third PC is Microsoft Surface Book 3 with no such software installed and yet behaves the same way with Excel under Windows 11. I eliminated all the services that were running as possible, but was unable to eliminate the problem. So I believe that it is Excel 365 and Windows 11 not working well together, rather than other software or addin interference.
OK, actually, just before posting this I wanted to investigate it some more. I found an answer, and am posting it below. ...no need to upvote. I am just placing this here in case anyone else runs into this problem.
Edit: I am accepting Scott's answer, since I want to give him credit for an answer that could apply given a problem as described in my question, but please also read my answer, as it could also apply (and in my case it did apply.)
My universal method for a misbehaving window is using the Windows + UP-ARROW to maximize on the current display (or left or right arrow, if that's your style) and then pulling it down by its title bar, thus, switching to windowed mode again, then moving it to the desired spot.
There is a bug in Microsoft Excel that sometimes leaves a window displayed off screen where you cannot reach the top of the window to move it back into view. This can often be fixed by going to the "View" menu in Excel, click on "Arrange All" then switch the way that the windows are arranged. If it is in "Tiled" try "Horizontal" or switch it to a different mode. It doesn't seem to matter what it was or what you change it to, but this act of changing how the windows are arranged usually will clear up the mess and bring the window back into full view.
Thanks @Mauro_Gerber and @txnelson for the proposals. In my case "run program" did work after some correction of the path string (fileshare starting with // on windows 10), the proposal with "web" did not work, I tried several times, it looks elegant.
Our windows are constructed from two panes of A-rated glass separated by a layer of air. This structure better insulates your property with fewer draughts and noticeably less condensation in the mornings, as well as helping to insulate your home from outside noise. Double glazed units also provide a higher level of security for your home.
From near-invisible joints, the elegance of the run-through sash horn, to the curvy ovolo frame shape, these are just a handful of the many clever details that work together to create the most graceful and advanced sash window on the market.
