1447341 2018-03-17 22:33:00 It may be a daft idea, but why not use Libre Office or similar? I avoid Microsoft software as much as possible. mzee (3324)

Addons running :none as Excel says no active addins....Outlook has Actions Items,Bing maps,My templates,Outolook customer manager,suggested meetings all installed by default...it would apear...Should I disable any? I says you can but can't uninstall

Rules are stored on the MS office 365 server I guess?? yes 10-11 minutes to upload....unreal....

opening blank word or excel sheet is good enough speed wise...security programs only one running is Trend Micro " Worry Free Business Security " .I have run malware bytes also and it finds nothing...

saving doc on desktop it opens okay and acceptable but quicker still in save mode.... what does this mean? No lag when entering data....opening attached word or excel files in outlook alot slower....

Running W7 64bit with 4gb ram 250gb hdd business work HP PC

Only network is an old xp sp3 pc with two usb drives running which open okay speed wise that is...set this up to provide a backup source when server taken out...so this is for backup only.....

Hope I have answered everything okay....let me know if I should try anything else....

1447343 2018-03-19 01:24:00 Gut feeling ( or was that what I ate for lunch) :D Trend micro !!

Have a read: alter as required to test.

success.trendmicro.com

Being it was going OK when the server was local Trend may be looking for it causing slowness ( only a guess)

OR go into the addons in word and excel and see if you can disable the trend options.

If its working faster in safe mode then something is running or scanning in the background to cause it when running normally. Not Office its self.

What security software do you have installed on the Home PC ?

1447344 2018-03-19 01:27:00 @mzee not an option as in work environment so have to be careful what I do...otherwise I would perhaps... Koenig Tiger (14621)
1447345 2018-03-19 01:30:00 @cyabro...not using onedrive or share point as way to slow...hence why I setup old xp pc with two use hdd's which is way faster.... Koenig Tiger (14621)

Knew you'd say that about TM but have used it since 2000 at home without issue or any infections....and yes still running latest version 12 without issue at home...

Have checked and no TM addons running in anything...interesting article....

AvoidExcelSaveIssue=0 is already correct....

First thing in morning it's bad i.e slow as...starting to wonder if it's the pc and 4GB ram is not exactly heaps is it?

1447347 2018-03-19 03:08:00 Sometimes you have to take a step back, and ask a simple question.

WHATS CHANGED between when it was working OK and Now. ??

Could be the smallest thing, some settings changed, programs updated etc.

The ones I really Love ( being sarcastic) :p you ask a person that and they say nothing has been changed, you spend ages scratching your head because everything looks and is set right ?? THEN they say something like -- Oh we just altered <insert what it was> That wouldn't have any effect would it ?? :waughh: :mad: :mad:

you feel like saying ----- oh for ****s sake you could have told me that when I first asked and saved all the troubles grrrrrrrrrrrr

1447348 2018-03-19 23:35:00 Thankyou all for the great input and I'll keep working on this and if it wasn't a work pc I'd just blow it away and do a clean install.

Wondering about disabling the protected mode during excel/work openings etc? Wonder if this would help....

1447349 2018-03-22 00:06:00 yep terminating "Protected View" certainly does the trick.... Koenig Tiger (14621)
