Excel will not let me click into cells or incorrect cell is selected randomly
Hi, This is an ongoing issue that I've been having for years across platforms, computers, versions of excel and workbooks. Basicially, one of two things happen: 1-I click on a cell but nothi...
Is anyone having trouble with Excel on Win 10, or is it just us suckers who upgraded to win11?
it is not you and Windows 11. I am having issues on three differnet computers running Windows 1o and Office 365.
- Same experience this side, it occurred on two Windows 10 machines, so my employer gave me a new one with Windows 11. The problem is even worse (distance between cursor is greater) and it's more difficult to undo the problem and continue working. Also lots of issues with Windows 11 and also with Dell Latitude hardware (always untested, buggy garbage).
MICROSOFT: YOU NEED TO BE REPLYING TO THIS AND RESOLVING THE ISSUE - THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE DISGRACE.
- Over the years I've had this issue on Windows 10, Windows 11 and Mac OSX (don't remember which version). I've had the issue on a clean install on 3 different laptops made by 3 different manufacturers both with and without separate keyboard/mouse installed (including drivers installed and not installed). This sorta rules out, at least in my mind, anything except Excel. I've also done clean installs of excel with no change...
With all this in mind, I did have excel crash about 2 months ago on both of my computers (turns out it was actually a network drive issue but that's neither here nor there). I ended up doing a fresh install of Office 365 from a new download (after doing a standard uninstall) and have not had the issue on either computer since.
So maybe, just maybe there's an update in the full download not included in any incremental update? Your mileage may vary, but may be worth a shot.- Thanks for the suggestions, I've tried regressing to a different Office version and now with the new laptop have all latest builds, I think. So it's really difficult to understand, but in my case this problem started very suddenly a few months ago, so MS obviously did something to cause this.
- This affects both 10 and 11. I've got an entirely new laptop (from my employer) which is 11, my previous one was 10. I've lost over half a day of productivity due to this, entirely with the aim of resolving the issue, and now find it's actually worse on the new laptop (Dell Latitude, which are notoriously terrible for bugs and config issues, so that doesn't help). I am absolutely livid about this.
