Weird Excel Issue when closing saved workbook
-
Another thought was if there was a Windows Update that messed something up.

Is this happening on Windows 10 1709?

Running chkdsk /r remotely. Waiting patiently for it to come back up holding breath.

Yeah still a no go. It's just weird because if I click the x nothing happens. I just get the circling curser. I can still click File and Close and the document closes fine but I can't exit out of Excel without an end task.

Kind of feel like I need to nuke and do a system reinstall. Just don't want to reinstall everything just to be right back where I'm at afterwards.

Have you already tried booting into safe mode too?

Yes, windows safe mode as well as excel safe mode.
-
Have you already tried updated the drivers for storage?

@jmoore - no definitely have plenty of space on the disk.
sorry i wasn't clear. i meant disk reading/writing. if your disk is doing too much too fast then that can cause weird issues

So I believe I was able to resolve the issue. I ended up rolling back my Office updates using the method from https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2770432/how-to-revert-to-an-earlier-version-of-office-2013-or-office-2016-clic . I had tried numerous versions but none seemed to work. I ended up trying Build 1707 16.0.8326.2073 and holy crap it worked.
Just another observation before I had rolled back is that Excel was using a high amount of CPU (about 45% to 50%). I have seen other people complain about CPU being high in some older versions but it was typically related to the Creators Update and not Office updates.
Anyways, thanks for all the suggestions!! I will let you guys know if this one blows up on me too.
