Update: I changed the "let windows manage your printer" to Select as default printer. I get a warning that windows will no longer manage the printer, but now it works every time i try.

I'm not 100% sure, but if you update the BIOS you are creating a new Computer, and you must re-activate windows. at least that is how i understand it

Well, the printer is doing just fine now, so i mark it solved

I don't understand why or how it started in the first place, or how it corrected itself. Very strange. Good luck with yours

antspants, Whenever you upgrade a software like office, they tell you it is backwards compatible, and i never had a problem with that. going the other way, you may run into problems because of new options that are not available in the old software. usually, you will get a popup telling you that...

The accessibility was only on office 2021 not on 2019. It will be a while till i get to that computer again, so i will post back when i find out if it works in person. Again, thanks for your help

So i removed all the boxes and then moved it to the desktop again and guess what, it now works. i pasted like 20 check marks and never got the popup or any other problem. What could have happened there? Not complaining, just thinking. let's hope it stays that way. Not holding my breath.

Apparently, the checkmark boxes take up a lot of resources. the original spreadsheet has more than 200 printable pages with data on it and is about 1.1 megs, the new one i just finished has 20 pages and is more than 2 megs. It takes a long time to load and if there is something else running...

Yes, I did manage to copy and paste it. It looks like it is working the way i want it to. Thanks for your help

Well, I finally managed to get the checkbox into the spreadsheet. it will not let me high light the collum and just click on fill down. is there a way to have the whole collum filled with checkboxes? if not, it will take a long time to do this. i will upload this file to the desktop and find out...

What do you mean force an update? install 2021?

No, The problem is on the 2019 , 2021 has no problem in pasting

Update: I always was under the impression that both computers had the same version of Office, i just checked and we do not. my laptop has office 2021 the other one has 2019. i also checked and both are up to date for office and windows. Does that give us a new way to fix this? Thanks

I appreciate all you have done. i keep monitoring these Posts in hope you have more ideas that will stop this. Again, thanks for your help
