I'm an Excel 2003 user because I couldn't manage to make the transition to Excel 2013 but that's a digression.
I have Windows ten and I after I ignore and [X] out of the update requests enough times, they finally load automatically without my permission. And then things happen I don't like:
What's happened is little changes that slow my PC down or make life more complicated.
1. I like to navigate with [Alt][Tab] and now after the last update [Alt][Tab] for Excel requires at least a double [Alt][Tab] - [Alt][Tab] more if I have more than one Excel file up.
So the move between applications or files choice has been disabled. Someone must have thought this was a good idea.
2. I use "Save as" a lot, and now, when I click on File it doesn't come up unless I wait 5 seconds or click on the "Expand" button at the bottom.
Requiring the user wait or make additional clicks doesn't improve efficiency. (Big reason why I don't use Excel 13 or newer)
Maybe my fumble fingers hit some option button in error and I just don't know it. But I'm blaming the auto-updates.
OK, I've vented now but it doesn't make me any happier.
