Charts do not update/refresh while runnig a macro - vba

Question

At work I have excel 2013 and I have a for cicle that add new data to the series of a chart at every iteration.
It works flawlessly and at every iteration I can see the chart updating.
Now I tried the code on my home pc with excel 2016 and no matter what the chart won't update. I tried everything
dim chr as ChartObject
dim chrt as Chart
set chr = Sheet1.ChartObjects.Add
set chrt = chr.Chart
then I tried everything like
doevents
chr.refresh
sheet1.enablecalculation = true
application.screenupdating = true
chr.activate
Application.ontime Now + timeSerial(0,0,1), "wt"
sub wt
Application.wait + timeSerial(0,0,1)
end sub
anything you can think of .. it won't update
Any suggestion? thanks to everyone
EDIT: I found that it works if I add
Sheet1.ResetAllPageBreaks
at the end of each iteration, BUT it slows down the code too much
Sub risolutore()
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

Have you tried just changing the chart data?
I worked with charts and when i changed the data the chart changed instantly.
