Random Gray Patches Across Excel Spreadsheet

I'm running Office 2016 on Windows 10 Pro, Dell M7710. Sometimes (but not all the time), on some worksheets (but not all worksheets) I get random black or gray patches that obscure the cell contents. Sometimes I can toggle from one view to another (e.g., normal to page layout) and back to fix the problem, sometimes not. Can anyone tell me how to eliminate this? (PS: I saw a similar post, but the problem had to do with tracking changes in the document. No such issue here.) Thanks.

Hello,

this looks like a screen rendering problem. Make sure your display driver is the latest version for Windows 10 and that there is sufficient memory.
