[Excel] Keyboard shortcut (Solved)

Click for full size
Looking for confirmation that since the Windows (7 Pro) last update, which included some Office updates, a keyboard shortcut for importing data into an Excel 2010 worksheet has stopped working.

The shortcut is Ctrl-Alt-F5. Up until Tuesday it worked for a couple years. Now it doesn't. I know it is a simply a couple mouse clicks to get the same task accomplished but like everything Excel I tend to become disturbed when mysterious things start to happen out of the blue.

Probably a longshot but has anyone else experienced this?

Recent Windows update included Intel graphics driver. This resulted in a new, improved hkcmd.exe (Intel Hot Keys) being placed in startup and killing some Excel hot keys.

You would think Intel and Microsoft would not write software that conflicts with each others commercial offerings but that would make sense and we all know that isn't one of the rules of the road in this business.

Thanks for listening.
