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 value a game as a whole including graphics. But going backwards in terms of graphics with a game I'm not already invested in (as in something I played and loved in the past and still do) is off-putting. Its a very poor demo trailer if they didn't crank the settings to max that would be ridiculous. Different strokes for different folks i guess, i'm not into slop the trailer and likely game could have been far better, it doesn't it instead looks like it was made on a shoe string budget or with lack of experience. But that could also be down to trying to get it running on low budget/outdated hardware and sacrificing the top end.

    • Google announces upgraded Gemini 2.5 Pro model with enhanced capabilities by Pradeep Viswanathan Google today announced an updated Gemini 2.5 model with several improvements that can be observed in popular AI benchmarks. Google particularly highlighted that the new Gemini 2.5 Preview 06-05 "Thinking" model performs better in coding, math, science, and reasoning. Last month, during Google I/O, Google released an updated version of the Gemini 2.5 Pro model with significant improvements. Today's update builds on the release of the previous month with further enhancements. In addition to benchmark improvements, based on user feedback, this updated Gemini 2.5 Pro model also comes with improved style and structure, which will result in creative and better-formatted responses for end users. You can find the benchmark comparison with other leading AI models below. As you can notice in the above table, this updated Gemini 2.5 Pro preview model is now SOTA (State-of-the-Art) in coding benchmarks like Aider Polyglot. It also scored SOTA performance on GPQA and Humanity’s Last Exam (HLE) benchmarks, which test math, science, knowledge, and reasoning capabilities. In real-world testing, this latest 2.5 Pro model scored 24 points better on LMArena, maintaining its lead, and a 35-point jump on WebDevArena at 1443. Developers can access this latest Gemini 2.5 Pro preview model through the Gemini API via Google AI Studio and Vertex AI. General consumers will be able to access this model via the Gemini app. Google also confirmed that the Gemini 2.5 Pro model will be generally available in a couple of weeks, allowing developers to start using it in production-ready enterprise-scale applications.
