MS Office - restart required ... every instance

kiwiaz · Dec 17, 2024

Every time I open an MS Office application, there is a message in the header about changing my privacy settings and that a Restart is Required. I signed in to my MS Account and couldn't find a solution there. I have Office Pro Plus 2019. I only use Word and Excel. If I click through, the application operates normally so it isn't a functional issue - just freaking annoying. All the software is licensed etc.

I find various discussions on the web going back years, but no prominent solution.

Ideas anyone?

Is the application up to date? Take a look for updates if it hasn't had any.

try File > Account > Manage Settings > uncheck any box(es), restart all office programs. then repeat process and recheck the boxes (if you want to). then restart all office programs. see if the message persists.

At Manage Settings my only option is a popup >>> Restart Required

I can follow the breadcrumbs all the way to my MS account but again, it doesn't solve anything, I'm just logged in with the same error

post a screenshot of this:

should be 2 or 3 checkboxes in that window

Hmm. After the last restart the message has not returned ...
