Hmmm... Can you upload your database, i have to check it, where the problem is.
I assume you have already tried the first steps in trouble shooting ?
i.e. : Close everything else
Try to run ED only, in window or borderless mode, with no antivirus, firewall and as little background processes running as possible.
once you have that running well for a while with the in-game fps counter showing since I assume that is what you are using,
then start TCE and see if you still get the same reduction with only those 2 programs running.
If so then yes I would say that you are due for a big clean up.
I run ED on an older machine and I would definitely notice it if TCE was pulling a lot resources.
For me at least, it is not !
I did notice that Windows Defenders and UAC have a hard time when I update TCE until I right click TCE.xlsm and unblock it.
Other antivirus might react the same way.
Worst is when you run both Defender and another antivirus or even 2 mores as I have unfortunately seen many people do !
Yup tried all that, reinstalled office but still the same. Elite is fine in Fullscreen/Borderless/Windowed (with TCE off or hidden). Tried disabling avast, no change. Even loaded Excel on its own after starting Elite and it's fine. Ran diagnostics in Excel, all is fine (even though i just reinstalled it). Haven't played in a while and only thing i've changed is i bought an x52 pro. Very odd. Computer is clean as i look after it well with regular scans/defrags etc.

Yes, the Auto-Destination. It doesn't seem to work anymore in my case.
Running out of Ideas,
You didn't say anything about Windows Defender and UAC specifically !
If you have not tried, I would suggest tuning both off completely as an ultimate test.
If you want to feel more safe about it, run TCE through this google online scanner before.

I've done it myself with a previous version and all 40 virus detection database/engine declared the files clean !
I use 200 ly the trade range. But I trade in the exact same area as in the previous version. And if I switch to 1.39f (a backup) I get trade advice with no problem. In 1.40b6, nothing. What's weird is that all the station data is there, since the stations are recognized when I dock in them, and the commodity info is correct.
I have same problem after updating to last beta.
One more error I have encountered. Ship Logbook -> Stored Locations -> Shipyard -> Error when click on any location "Subscript out of range"

but when I dock in station and open Station Database, enter all the info in it and click save, TCE crash and I get this msg: "Method 'Range' of object '_Worksheet' failed".
Found the issue. Will be fixed in next update @dreamer1986: Your database is fine.
Eventure again thanks for the speedy update, though I haven't been able to test it yet been working hard on my Voice Attack Profile. Question do you still release TCE with the blank database without all the pre defined stations, still thinking about starting over and if I do I like the explorers feeling of finding things for myself.
@All
Please tell me, if you having problems like Bragolatch deleting notes of star systems via Database, Trade or Cartography panel, so it is empty and then saving it. I cant recreate that issue. Thanks in advance.
No problem. You have only to delete all stations listed at the Stations_UR table of the TCE.mdb.
Well I cannot seem to duplicate the notes problem either. I deleted a note in cartography, Logbook and inside the stations panel all deleted and saved without incident I do get this error however had it start the other day after a crash, and so far I have been saving the files to view later since I don't know what they are. What do you think Eventure delete them?

I asked the same question a long time ago and yeah the answer was delete them.
Just to clarify something for the new TCE users, referred to the above posts:
If, at start, Excel asks you to recover something, don't. Delete as mentioned above.
If, after a play session, Excel asks you to save changes to tce.xlsm, don't.
TCE is not meant to change, in any way, due to normal usage. It's always a result of some error you encoutered.
Everything you do is savely stored in the .db files.
