How to fix google spreadsheets not working
1. Check your connection
Make sure your Internet connection is working properly. If you get disconnected often or have low bandwidth issues, here are some quick tips that might help:
Reboot your modem
Disconnect your network device(s) if you haven't done so in a long time
If you are using a wireless connection, switch to a wired connection if possible
If there are multiple devices using the same Internet connection, disconnect them while using Google Sheets.
2. Update your browser and disable your extensions
Running outdated browser versions may break certain features of Google Sheets. If you haven't updated your browser in a while, don't be surprised if Google Sheets not working.
Install the latest version of the browser on your computer and check if this solution solved the problem.
If not, try disabling all your browser extensions. It seems that ad blockers and PDF extensions can sometimes break Google Sheets.
If the problem goes away after disabling your extensions, start re-enabling them one by one to identify the problematic extension and completely uninstall it.
3. Clear your cache and cookies
In addition to your extensions, your browser's cache and cookies can also cause various crashes in Google Sheets. That's why clearing your cache and cookies is what you need to do next.
If you use Chrome or other Chromium-based browsers, click the menu icon and History. Then select Clear browsing data.
Select the time range and the type of data you want to clear (cache and cookies) and press the Clear data button.
4. Try incognito mode
Some users confirmed that enabling incognito mode (or private browsing) helped them avoid Google Sheets loading issues.
To enable private browsing, click your browser's menu icon and select New incognito mode or Private browsing (depending on the browser you're using).
Incognito mode makes your browser work differently and doesn't leave as many clues as normal mode. Your browsing history will not be stored and third-party cookies will be blocked.
