ComboBox not functioning following recent software update

Hello. I have an ActiveX combobox in Excel that is not working since the recent update. If I move the file to my virtual workspace where the software hasn't been updated, it works just fine. This is occurring with 2 different files - same error. That tells me a setting or property needs to be modified since the last Office software update, but I have no idea which/where.

    Try the following. Sometimes it fixes this type of corruption.

    • Make a note of the Combo Box properties.
    • Delete the combo boxes.
    • Save and Close the workbook.
    • Re-open the workbook.
    • Recreate the Combo Boxes.

    The Snipping Tool is ideal for capturing the Combo Box Properties. More information at the following link.

    I find that with the Snipping Tool pinned to the Task Bar is very convenient for using it.
