I've seen office 365 be terrible on both windows 10 and 11.But is it an office problem? What renders the app and causes that sort of problem? I could say it goes either way. Besides, many of the other issues I have are strictly on windows. Like sometimes when I maximize a window, it maximizes over the taskbar, making the maximize feature unusable until I reboot. I’ve had long lags in opening settings and the search menus. Granted, office also has its issues (hello, new Outlook), but a good chunk of my issues are Windows-related. It’s not crashing, but rather I experience very real usability bugs. I use macOS and Linux, too, and honestly most of this is related to Windows 11. I never had these kinds of issues with Windows 10.
I would concede that it seems to be glitch more on windows 11 than 10 - and at times there seems to be a big in excel that basically makes the top part of the window with the smart icons black or disappear on windows 11, whereas on windows 10 they blank but come back again (sort of).
This doesn't necessarily mean Win 11 is the cause - we don't know if there is a specific Windows 11 code path for certain operations to try and take advantage of newer WDDM features or some such.
The fact this only happens in Office 365 vs many other apps does make me lean more to the Office apps being the problem.
I do need to point out though that these are on varying systems with different hardware so driver maturity, etc., may play a part.
