    Hi

    In Sequoia the setting is shown in this screen shot. This setting may be in other places depending on your version of Mac OS.

Well of course I've tried that too :)

I changed it back to 10, restarted, changed it to none, restarted again.

It first clears out that list but after a couple of seconds they all come back.

This sounds like a genuine bug! The question I don't know the answer to is does the bug belong to Apple or Microsoft? I suggest reporting it to both companies and let them figure it out. 

To send a report to Microsoft, in Excel use the Menu Bar and choose Help > Feedback > Report a Problem. 

Apple has various ways to submit bug reports. This article explains them.
