Problems with Excel AddIn for Azure Devops for Visual Studio 2019

A couple of days ago I reinstalled my computer and since I usually go by “Newer is always Better” I installed Visual Studio 2019. When I was going to generate release notes for our latest release Excel Addin for DevOps did not work. I looked through the prerequisites and found nothing I missed… It should work… WTF

Well… after some research I found this forum post online saying that apparently there is an issue with Excel Addin included in the latest version of Visual Studio. The correct version is here: Azure DevOps Office® Integration 2019
