This is happening on multiple PC's. Each PC is running Win 10 Pro, allegedly with all the latest updates installed. Office 2016 Home and Business is installed on each PC. Excel works fine for a while, then becomes slower and slower until it is unusable. For example, a user will open a spreadsheet and click on a cell to view a formula and it takes forever to get a response.

I have done a complete online install of Office 2016 on each PC that has been affected. This seemed to work on one PC for more than a week. Now the user is again reporting the same issue. For another PC, the 'fix' seemed to work for about 4 days; now the user is again complaining of extremely slow Excel. At the moment about the only 'solution' in my bag of tricks is to try the re-install yet again.

From on: Good morning (5 April, 2016), I’m happy to be able to update that we’ve released an update for this issue in Mac Excel 15.21, which has rolled out to Office Insiders today and pending any blocking issues we find there should start rolling out to everyone in a week or so.

In order to turn off this animation once you have the updated build, you’ll want to go to Excel > Preferences > Edit and uncheck the “Provide feedback with animation” checkbox. Hope that helps, Dan [MS] So the new method is via: “Excel” → “Preferences” → “Edit” and uncheck the “Provide feedback with animation” checkbox.
