Dear All,

Some users are experiencing hanging issues in MS Excel; please do the following to resolve this issue; 

Solve Excel Hanging Issue

If you are on Windows 11 or Windows 10, choose Start > All apps > Windows System > Run. Type Excel /safe in the Run box, and then click OK.

       If Excel starts in safe mode, continue with the steps in the COM Add-ins section of this article.

COM add-ins

Use the following steps to determine if a COM add-in is causing the problem:

Click File > Options > Add-ins.

Select COM Add-ins, and click Go.

Clear all the check boxes in the list, and click OK.

Close and restart Excel in normal mode.

Select “File” > “Options“.

Select “Add-ins“.

Select “Excel Add-ins” in the “Manage” drop-down menu, then select “Go…“.

If any items are checked, try unchecking them, then selecting “OK“. This will disable Add-ins that may be causing the freezing.

Close Excel, then launch it normally to see if that did the trick. If not, repeat steps 3 through 7, only try a different selection in step 6. Go through the list in the drop-down for “COM Add-ins“, “Actions“, and “XML Expansion Packs” and see if disabling items in those selections do the trick.

Thanks & Regards,
