Since the fall creators update weird problems surface on my system, which appear to be caused by AHK.
I use this script to launch Excel:
^+e::
Run C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\EXCEL.EXE
WinActivate ahk_exe EXCEL.EXE
return
If hit the shortcut key, Excel does launch, but any add-in I have checked to open with Excel causes error messages which are NOT caused by code in the add-in itself. Rather: Excel fails to open the add-ins completely.
If I start Excel through its shortcut on my desktop, everything works as expected.

Re: Fall creators update causing wierd issues
Perhaps you need to identify the working directory using the next parameter in your Run command so it can find the supporting files that run your add-ins.
Run C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\EXCEL.EXE, C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16
Run C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\EXCEL.EXE, C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16

- As a workaround, use Run, but point to the shortcut.
- Following on from what boiler suggested, check the shortcut's Properties dialog for a working directory ('Start in'), and specify a working directory when you use the Run command.

Re: Fall creators update causing wierd issues
Thanks a lot for your responses.
Neither option appears to work. I have reverted to setting hotkeys to the icons on my desktop (property of link)
