Shortcuts now requires shift after windows update
I’m using a Belgian AZERTY keyboard on Windows 11 with Microsoft 365 Excel. Until recently, I could trigger shortcuts such as “Increase Decimal” command using the Ribbon access key sequence Alt → H → 0 by pressing the unshifted “à” key. After the latest Windows update, Excel only recognizes the digit 0 if I press Shift + à during the sequence. This breaks my workflow because I don’t have a numpad and my Quick Access Toolbar is already optimized for other commands. Question: Is there a Windows or Office setting that changed how Ribbon access keys interpret digits on AZERTY keyboards? How can I restore the old behavior so the unshifted “à” key acts as 0 in Ribbon sequences?
Standalone office 2019 and Office 365
Our office is currently using standalone installs of mostly Office 2019 and some Office 2021. I understand the support will end this year for them but will they still work with Exchange online if we go with Microsoft 365 Business Basic subscription? We only have 30 or so users and cannot justify the cost of moving everyone to the next step up. I work for a small government agency and all costs are very scrutinized. I anticipate we could in the next couple years, but not before the October deadline. Will the older office clients get blocked like happened to Office 2013 and 2016?
