Coworkers computer automatically updated to windows 11 and now Excel can't handle the most basic excel files much less files with formulas, links, etc. We have done the fixes listed that I can find. Is Microsoft going to fix this issue before windows 10 goes away? What is the fix if all other published fixes don't work

?

    There is insufficient information here to help you. Excel works fine on Windows 10 and 11. Please provide more context including the following:

    • Error(s) you're seeing when you're trying to run Excel or open an Excel file
    • Sample files would be best otherwise something that would replicate the issue would work
    • Event Log errors in Windows for the crashes would be very useful
    • Version(s) of Office you're running
    • List of fixes that you've tried but didn't work
