I have just installed excel 2016 on my computer for work. I am processing a fairly average data set. However, I am finding the keyboard shortcuts much slower than in Excel 2013.

For example, when I use "ALT-A-T" to create filters, the workbook takes 3-5 seconds to process. Alternatively, when I simply press the button in the ribbon, the workbook responds instantly.

I already turned off cursor animations in the OPTIONS > ADVANCED > GENERAL settings. Is there any other way to turn off whatever extraneous activity is happening in the background?

Thanks! Lisa

If you're using shortcuts that visually go through the ribbon, turn off animations for all of office 2016 -

  1. create the following key in the registry if it does not exist yet: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\Graphics

  2. create a new DWORD DisableAnimations in that key and set its value to 1

It went from 15.0 to 16.0
