No idea. But open Excel from Start-Run by entering "Excel.exe /s" (no
quotes, space before the slash). This opens 'pure Excel' - no add-ins, etc.
If basic stuff operates normally (not slow) then it may be an add-in or
something else being loaded automatically at startup that it causing the
slowdown.
