Excel Freezing When Copying Large Data Sets

Hi! Lately, whenever I try to copy and paste large data sets in Excel, it completely freezes and I have to force quit the application. It’s super frustrating, especially when working on important files. I’ve got plenty of RAM (16GB), so I’m not sure why this is happening. Any ideas on how to fix it?

It might also be worth checking if Excel’s hardware acceleration is causing the issue. You can turn it off by going to File > Options > Advanced, and scrolling down to the Display section. Uncheck Disable hardware graphics acceleration and see if that makes a difference. Sometimes it helps with performance problems like freezing.
