Message about add-ins and then freezing

[janzablox]

I am currently getting this message randomly, which locks up my excel and then come back to normal after 5-10 minutes. I'm on O365 version of Office. Any ideas?

No idea, but I see that if you google "We're starting the add-ins runtime, just a moment" you get a *lot* of results.

Yup, I noticed that as well. Unfortunately, none of them were helpful. Which led me to post here.

Have you loaded any addins lately ?
Have you looked at the list of addins, to see if one doesn't seem right ?
Have you done an office re install or update ??

Nope, no add-ins loaded, other than the ones I've using for a long time now.
- Add-ins = sfdc_convert
- COM Add-ins = Power Map & Power Pivot

Re-install and update has been performed as well. The weird thing is, the message went away and hasn't come back since I've created this thread. But I didn't do anything.

I don't know if this article will help, but might be worth a read !!
