From Operating System updates and new add-ins to malware, there are many reasons that force Microsoft Excel to freeze or become non-responsive on many occasions.

This application from Microsoft is no exception when it comes to unexpected problems or errors. We have listed possible solutions for Microsoft Excel not responding issue on Windows Operating Systems.Įxcel is used by millions of people across the globe at home and in offices for various data management, and financial calculations related tasks. But I did eventually discover that the problem seemed to occur only for that user profile on that particular machine and once I created a new profile for that user on the computer, the problem went away, thankfully.Have you ever experienced annoying errors while working on Excel? Anything like non-responding worksheets or not responding in the middle of an important task? If yes, then this write-up is just for you. Nothing worked to fix the problem for that particular user profile. Yeah, like yourself, I tried the repair, uninstall - re-install, send error reports, Office Diagnostics, etc. I highly recommend that if you ever see the 'Office Application' encountered an error and needs to close dialogue box again after resolving this issue, then Do NOT leave the Recover My Work and Restart the 'Application' check box checked or you will end up in the never ending error loop again. In that case, I recommended creating a new user profile for yourself on the machine and see if Office works properly in the new profile. If this works, then it is probably a result of a corrupted or 'bad' file having been opened once, under your profile.

I recommend you try opening an Office Application (Word or Excel) in Safe Mode (Hold down Control key while clicking the application).

I had a similar problem with Office 2007 crashing on opening a Word or Excel File.
