Excel and Access files slow to open


Question

Myself and some other network users are experiencing slow opening of Excel files. While it's mainly Excel, I've noticed that I have the same issue with Access. The excel files are not large in size. The slow opening is the same regardless of whether there is content in the cells.

 

Troubleshooting steps performed so far include: creating a new profile and running a repair on Office. Neither step has resolved the issue. Anything else to try?

How long is a string sort of statement.. So they are 10KB or 10MB?  Best to give context when you say something is not large..

 

Are the users wifi or wired, what speed?  So they have no issues with speed if they copy the file to their local system.  Is it then slow to open even when on local file system of the users machine?  How fast is copy of file take?  Non excel or access file?

Might help if we know what version of office your using and what OS your on, etc. ;)  Above is example of 2003 office when OFV was installed caused some issues - so really need to know more details to even guess what could be the problem.

    • I understand. I am not talking about benchmarks at all, even though I probably should look into those too - I just mean historically Vivaldi was a rather sluggish chromium browser when in use compared to other chromium browsers. I am always willing to give it additional tries whenever performance improvements are mentioned in the patch notes.
    • First make whole system slow and now making it fast. That's your own doing-undoing !!
