Friends, please help me out with this frustrating issue. There are green crosshair highlights showing up every time I click on a cell in an Excel spreadsheet (the row and column corresponding to that particular cell are automatically highlighted). It’s extremely distracting, and what baffles me is that many of the online solutions and videos are not helping! I have tried pressing Escape many times, have tried this after rebooting device and Excel application, clear conditional formatting. Further, I am not seeing any of the “Enable Pointer Shadow” or other setting descriptions under my Excel Advanced Display options, contrary to the instructions provided on Chatgpt and Youtube videos. Thank you for any help you can share!

    I’m sorry that I don’t have a good technical solution. I recommend defenestration. At least you’ll feel better.

    I don’t know if the workbook your using is running any vba code. But Excel 365 just released that feature it’s on one of the ribbons but I don’t remember which one, “show cursor in selection” maybe?

    Do you have to use Excel? Have you tried LibreOffice Calc, or OpenOffice, etc?
