Excel slowdown until becomes unresponsive

[Nighteg]

Hi everyone. It's not a question, just thought i'd share something useful.
For the last 2 weeks my excel was acting super slow, even with small files. After a long search, i finally discovered the reason: it was a Microsoft update - KB 3114717, which caused it. Find it, uninstall it and be happy. MS removed this update, so don't worry about auto updates.
Cheers.

For anyone's information
Microsoft support documentation here.

"Update 3114717 is no longer available because it causes Microsoft Office 2013 apps, such as Microsoft Word and Microsoft Outlook, to slow down or freeze. If you’ve installed this update and you're experiencing these issues, you can safely remove the update. To do this, see the "How to uninstall this update" section."
