Ctrl+Enter & Alt+Enter not working
In my Windows 10 PC with office 365, Control+Enter & Alt+Enter functions are not performing. Kindly share if anyone have these type of exposures.

If the Ctrl, Alt and Enter keys are working normally in other situations (ruling out keyboard malfunction), you might have software running in the background that hijacks those key combinations.
Do Windows key+Ctrl+Enter and Windows key+Alt+Enter work instead of Ctrl+Enter and Alt+Enter?

HansVogelaar Same thing happened to me and I stumbled upon your response. Is there any way to reactivate it? I mean I want to use ctrl+enter to fill all the selected cells. I do a lot of Data Cleansing so it is vital for me to retain that functionality
Thanks
Thanks

amitverma If you're on Windows, have you tried Windows key+Ctrl+Enter?

HansVogelaar Hi, I did. It didn't work and so did the other few options neither

What happens if you start Excel in safe mode:
- Quit Excel completely.
- Hold down the (left) Ctrl key while starting Excel.
- You'll be asked whether you want to start Excel in safe mode.
- Click Yes.
- Try using Alt+Enter and Ctrl+Enter.
- If they work, it's most likely that an add-in in Excel was causing the problem.
- Otherwise, the cause is most likely outside Excel.
