Excel Co authoring - Comments author renamed to Setup
Curious if anyone else has encountered this issue.
We have a group of people working on a spreadsheet stored in a SharePoint library.
Yesterday we noticed that the author of all comments changed from peoples names to Setup.
Its Excel 2016 version 1708.
Any ideas what might cause this?
- Perhaps an update has changed people's Username property to something generic in Excel Options?

That seems to have been it. Thank you!
Do you know how to prevent Excel from overwriting comment authors in the first place?
- To be honest I didn't know Excel did that to begin with, so I just assumed this was about new comments.
