well - more Excel only issues today.
On the Bosses PC - yesterday I:
uninstall Office 2016 Pro Plus x32
Installed Windows 1093 upgrade
Installed all the windows 10 1903 updates
rebooted
installed Office 2016 Pro Plus x64
Installed the Office updatesToday - she opened a file - originally created in 2010 (at least, if not older) but does a save as every month as she updates it. - while using it, it simply stopped accepting input. You click click on different cells, but couldn't type into anything. Opened Word on the other screen - could type into Word no issue, return to Excel - couldn't type, changed to a different tab on same workbook, could type, a third tab, could type, original tab - could type once again.
/sigh - just weird bloody issues.
Clearly nothing was locked up - we could change cells with the mouse while in Excel - and Windows wasn't locked up, we launched Word and typed there... just this one sheet, while in the middle of updating fields, it just simply stopped accepting input from the keyboard.

Not really considering this an Excel issue in the past, I never dug into Excel repair tools, until today.
Shows how to tell Excel to try to repair a file.

Always possible.. but she definitely didn't accidentally click it while I was watching it not work... then suddenly just start working again
