After a fresh install on a Mac Big Sur, (Current channel (preview)) I get a dialog when opening Excel or Word. First "What's new in Excel", then the dialog "Your privacy option". I can click on the OK-button, but nothing happens. When closing the window/dialog then also Excel is closed.

    I had the same problem running Big Sur. In my case, I have just changed licensing company after changing jobs, so that may be the reason for the problems. I followed @TobiasHammarstrand's suggestion of using the "License removal tool" and then reactivate Microsoft 365, and voila - it worked!
