I’m on a surface pro and the control alt arrow key combination has randomly stopped working to select multiple rows and columns-
Does anyone know the fix for this?

Does it work if you disable your add-ins one-by-one?

    What about COM add-ins?

What I know is that it should be:
Ctrl+Shift+ArrowKey

  That doesn’t work either. I’ve tried that to select all data right of A1 and down to the bottom of the csv file but it stops after selecting all populated cells to the right

    You have to open your file in Excel, whereafter you execute the key combination.
