Excel - Portion of Sheets Blocked Out/ All Gray
-
I have 1 Dell Latitude 7490 with Windows 10 (8th gen i5 with 32GB of RAM) and a chronic (and random) issue where Excel 64-bit's sheets don't display the entire contents of the sheet. It just leaves a gray blob after a certain point. This has been going on for several months now, across several updates/versions of Office and drivers. In the sheet below, it was in protected mode. As soon as I hit enable editing, it redrew the sheet and it seems fine. I have also had other issues on this system where all Excel windows turn blank gray.
I have done the following:
- updated display drivers
- updated BIOS
- updated Office
- updated Windows
- disabled hardware acceleration in Excel
- disabled comm add-ins in Excel
- uninstalled/reinstalled Office
- run hardware diagnostics (pre-os)
- RE-IMAGED the laptop (MDT/WDS)
Is there any way to fix this?

Adding swapping out RAM to the list. Haven't gotten any word back as to whether or not it has fixed it. Just found out that the user will be in China for a week and a half, so I won't really be able to try much.

That'll slow things down.

Swapping RAM or him being out of the country?
