Please check query properties if refresh on opening is not checked.

In the past I had one file that had the setting to refresh on open and I disabled that. I don't know why Excel got corrupted and now it refreshes every open file when i open a new file. If i have 4 files open then it will start refreshing all 4 files when I open a new file.

Sergei, please help. I have almost stopped using Excel power query because of this issue.
