how can I get out of Excel Solver when stuck?

Question

with solver on Excel 2021 for Mac, after running several hours, solver shows the window "solver paused, current solution displayed on worksheet" - apart from the fact that the screen is blank showing nothing, the problem is that if I click "stop" right away or I guess within short time the worksheet shows indeed the solution, while in I wait some time (e.g. a few hours) Excel is blocked and non click produces any effect and I have to kill Excel to get out my question!: how can I awake Excel/solver in that situation? thanks

Hi,

I have update MacOS and then Excel to 16.70 - I have run Solver and at time out I could stop properly, but this was soon after time out, so I cannot say whether my previous problem is solved

If not the case I'll come back, iin case it is solved I thank you very much for the hint

best regards
