Is anyone else experiencing the issue in Excel where it will suddenly stop updating visually, allow the user to click on or even edit something, work can be saved and exited, but you can't actually see what you're doing?
I have been having this issue on and off for the last several months. It will randomly occur a couple of times a week and then go away with no rhyme or reason and no discernible trigger. Since Monday, Excel has become almost unusable to me. It just keeps locking out in the same way sometimes within seconds of opening a single file.
Excel will just stop updating visually. I'm still able to click in cells, scroll, use the ribbon, save or even open files. But nothing will update visually. I can scroll, but it won't display that I have scrolled it stays wherever it was before it locked out. I could open and edit cells but I wouldn't be able to actually see what happened. The one saving grace is that I'm able to at least save the workbook and close it. Though I have to do this with hotkeys because all dialog boxes are absolutely blank.
I have tried resetting the computer, running any repair service on Microsoft office, clearing the roaming data, forcing an exit from the task manager, and several other miscellaneous fixes to no avail. I'm trying to at least see how prevalent this is because trying to search for this online or even using co-pilot to better understand it is yielding nothing.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Does anyone know of any potential fixes? Thank you in advance to any replies.
