Excel is auto-opening iqy file on open

As the title says, every time I open Excel, whether to open a blank workbook or an existing workbook, excel also opens a blank workbook and prompts to enable data connections. If I enable data connections, Excel opens a connection file that I created to a sharepoint site. I've created connection files like this before and never had this problem. It's not really a work stopper, but it is annoying.
I've tried everything I can find online, which isn't much. Pretty much everything I've found is about how to stop or start opening specific workbooks when Excel opens, but I've checked all those settings and they're all cleared.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Did anyone get back to you about this or did you figure it out? I'm using iqy's to link to SharePoint for Quality Assurance and analysis. Worked great since 2019. Made a new one and now every time I open Excel in any way I get 3 iqy's asking to be enabled. I use some scripts to refresh some Excel
conversion workbooks, and this is mucking up the works hard.
