Windows 10: Problems with excel over network share

Hi folks. In my office, we are having problems with office files in general, when working on a FileShare server.

When opening a file it takes a lot to open, and sometimes it crashes. Also the explorer when navigating the FileShare, it crashes too.

It started happening like 1 week ago.

Does anyone has had similar problems and know the solution.??

Thx, Tiago.

Excel files only open/save slow on network share

• Opening any Excel file, even an empty Excel file from any network share located on any machine on this domain network results in slow performance. When opening a file, Excel will state: "Downloading: <path name>", then will say "Processing...", then will
  say "Opening: <path name>", then will say "Processing...", and then finally opens. Once open the file performs normally.
  
• The Save process is equally slow for any Excel file saving to a Network Share
• Opening these same files locally on any machine is fast.
• Opening any other file type on these shares is fast, including Word, pdf, jpg, etc. of much larger size than the Excel files.
  
• The slow performance is seen on all machines on the network.

It seems like this would be a network issue but I'm not sure where to start. Again it only affects Excel files, nothing else. But it affects all Excel files.

Some machines here are Windows 7 running Office 2010, but the same slow behavior is seen on Windows 10 machines running Office 365.
