Hello Microsoft Gurus!
One of the employees in my office is constantly having problems with Excel 2013 crashing while doing work. We even made him use the safe mode version of excel, but he still was getting crashes. I'll try to provide as much information as I can, and if there's
anything I need to do on my end, please let me know.
This is the message that pops up when his computer crashes:
"Do you want to send more information about the problem? Additonal details about what went wrong can help Microsoft create a solution"
Files that help describe the problem:
C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\29422974.cvr
C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\CVRFA9B.tmp.cvr
C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\WERF771.tmp.WERInternalMetadata.xml
C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\WERCA7.tmp.appcompat.txt
C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\WERCF6.tmp.mdmp
Upon looking at the Windows App Error Logs, this is what shows up.

What additional information is needed to decipher what is causing this to break? I have already tried suggestions from other technet articles (disabling hardware acceleration, using only 2013 files, safe mode excel, repairing office 2013, uninstalling/reinstalling
office 2013, etc.). I even tried using Procmon to try to find what 'function' was causing excel to crash but it was way beyond my expertise level. Can someone please advise what to do?
Also (not sure if this is related or not) Excel opens up 'blank' when he opens any type of model (.xls, .xlsx) that no other user is experiencing (exactly same computer model, same install, etc.). All the toolbars are there, but no data can be seen. Only when
he double clicks the top to shrink/maximize the excel window does the data appear.
Thanks!
btw, this verification thing is pretty stupid, i now have to manually type in the messages instead of just putting a picture. ugh.
