Internet Explorer not responding when Syncing MS Project Tasks to SharePoint

Microsoft Project tasks can sync with SharePoint tasks. If your browser hangs during the sync and gives you the "Not Responding" message...verify the following:

Task sync limitations	Syncing more than 1,000 tasks is not recommended. If you want to sync more than 1,000 tasks, consider breaking down your project into multiple projects, and then sync the projects separately.
SharePoint required fields	If a project plan doesn’t contain a field that is required in SharePoint, the plan won’t sync. Add the required field as a custom field in Project.
Project field contains a formula	SharePoint fields don’t support formulas. Try removing the formula from the field in Project and then resyncing.
Summary task name	SharePoint assumes summary tasks will become folders on the site, so it doesn’t allow characters that are not allowed in folders: . / : * ? < > |Make sure that none of your summary tasks in Project contain any of these characters.

If none of those are the cause, you may need to open Internet Explorer in 32-bit:




Open Internet Explorer in 32-bit:




1.Browse to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer


2.Click on iexplore application (this is the 32 bit internet explorer version)




Note - You may still have 64 bit pinned onto your taskbar. You can unpin it at any time and pin the 32 bit version.




Now your tasks should sync without the browser failing with "Not responding".
