Excel loading and running slow.

Excel takes about 20 seconds to load, whereas on another win10 machine I own it loads in a couple of seconds. EVERYTHING in Excel is slow: computations, opening spreadsheets, filling cells. I've tried a few of the (long!) *list of things MS recommends (running in SAFE mode - not easy to do! - and turning of a few add-ins) but the app is still very slow.

My MSWord & PowerPoint 365 seem OK...
