Yeah, my only fix was messing with an XMP profile. But running MEMTEST86+ showed me the memory is already good, so no need for that change. DISM has basically done the trick here. I'll wait a bit then come back and share what's up.

It is normal to clean your CMOS (CLRTC) after a BIOS update or if you have other problems. If you didn't do this before your last update, that might be causing your issues. When you update the BIOS, clearing the CMOS wipes any leftover microcode from the memory. This makes your BIOS go back to its factory default settings. It takes about five minutes for this process.

It took over five minutes for me to take out my GPU in order to reach the switch. That said, I was finally able to clean some dust out of here. After a restart and resetting my XMP settings, everything is back on and working fine.

WOW! Great outcome. The next time, just take five minutes and you'll get there too! 😊

So far, so good. It's been months without problems for me now. Thanks to @Roland Of Gilead and @punkncat! Long ago, back when I was retired, I worked as a CNE and MCP on Windows 2000. Things have changed a lot since then. John

Hey John. Thanks so much. You got me spot on with technology and how things change fast. That's exactly why I'm visiting Tom here. I want to keep learning new stuff, find answers, and ask questions. Have a great day! Let us know if you see anything else coming up. Keith

Thanks, but this problem is coming back. It used to work fine in Excel on Office Pro 2019 before, but now it just stops working suddenly. After that happened, the Print Screen button also freezes up. On Windows 11, you can choose exactly which part of your screen to copy by using your mouse. Even though the feature is available, it still hangs when used recently.

Have you tried turning back on your computer again? Maybe this is the last thing to try. Sometimes changing versions can cause problems that don't show up when checking repairs or causing conflicts.

This was just a brand new setup. The only changes are regular updates. After running SFC and DISM, it's running much smoother. For my spreadsheets, I use Libra Calc instead of Excel. I haven't needed to restart the computer at all. Even pressing Print Screen works fine. Is there a way to do a repair install of Office Pro 2019?
