  1. I am using excel 2010 32 bit and have installed power pivot add in. Every time I restart excel the add in goes off from ribbon and I have to reactivate it. I also have personal macro workbook in xlstart with lots of macros in them. I have gone over internet to see the possible causes and most common reason I have found is conflict of personal macro workbook with power pivot in excel 2010. I am also using power query which is working just fine. Do u have any fix for me plz?

    I cant change the version as it is licensed version (professional plus) used by my company. I have found couple of solutions to fix the problem through regedit but those are for excel 2013 or later.
