Excel 2019 here

Out of the blue, with no updates or changes , a power query that has working for years , fails to load from a particular source on the web, it just hangs , and doesnt time out.

Excel can load that same URL page using File/OPEN, and the text import wizard instantly, so the problem seems to be power query . No idea what broke.


Could the site possibly block a power query , but not an Excel native load of the url.... seems unlikely .

Really stumped on this .
