Excel Shortcut Keys ctrl+f and ctrl+h now gives the same function?

Hi,

 

I just want to know why would microsoft change the function of excel 2016 in pressing ctrl+h (Find and replace)  and have it the same as pressing ctrl+f (Find fucntion)??   The recent update makes the shortcut keys the same.  I mean it is really useful when you can a quickly press keys to find and replace.  Instead they made it the same as find function only which really is really annoying and time consuming for excel advanced users.

    Same problem here. I finally learned the dang shortcut for Replace a few weeks ago and now it doesn't work. GAH!

    On Excel Version 1708 Build 8431.2079

      I updated couple of minutes ago on 1709.8528.2084, Ctrl+H works now in that build.

        How can I make it update? I'm in Excel and went to Account. I see the button for Update Options. I click it, then Update Now but it says "You're Upto Date."  Is there a way to force it somehow?
