With this, I fought for the past week.  I applied all the workarounds I found ( this above update was not yet available) . Indeed, the issue is caused by office update. Mine came few days ago but the editor started to crush after 1st restart. 

I solve it by reinstalling the office from scratch.  We also did the update and still works.

The following article has been updated to include the most recent issue affecting those who have upgraded MS office directly or via windows updates.

The workaround is to roll back to the pre upgrade or updated version of MS office.

check the article below for specifics of version builds of MS excel affected thus far.
