excel 2016 opening up slow when click on the file from the network domain

[Passat1983ICTech]

hi there some staff when opening up a file in excel open up slow the excel logo come up then take for ever to load up or just sit there and dose nothing at all

 

i have removed addins from excel like adobe disabled start up items when pc has start up I have check the task manager as well to see what is going on

I have check for updates as well to see if any have not even applied to windows 10 and office

 

Only other thing I can think off is upping the ram putting a ssd in the pc and seeing how this will go

Is anyone on her doing the same

Thanks

You could create a copy of the Excel document and move it to a PC so see if it is any faster when opened locally, Anti-Virus?, is this a standard excel file or has it Macro's .

I had this on the BM's PC which an 3rd gen I7 with 16gb ram and an SSD, so the machine spec doesn't seem to make any difference...

 

I've done the following to fix this on a number of different machines:

 

Kill the user profiles on the machines and try again...

I've had this.. where the Excel logo is shown but it doesn't load the spreadsheet. I've found double clicking twice on Excel (not the spreadsheet file) will open the spreadsheet..
