    This isn't working for me. We've had this issue for a month now and I was hoping the patch tuesday updates would fix it but no luck. Also, as I said, adding these reg keys did not help.

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\policies\microsoft\office\16.0\common\security

    DisableHyperlinkWarning = 1

    Also if you want to remove by default the remove the require server verification (HTTPS) for all sites in this zone you can use this:
    HKU*Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\2\Flags: 0x00000143(323)*

    @Ivan,

    I found there is an Office bug logged for the issue where closing Word or Excel causes SfB to crash. The issue is being investigated. The support engineer found a short-term mitigation, but I am not sure if it will cause other issues, so test it if you think it might help.

    He found setting DefaultIMApp to Teams stopped the SfB crash. If you check Event Viewer you will likely see Event 1000/1001 Lync.exe for each time you close those apps and SfB crashed.

    Outlook uses that DefaultIMApp for presence and other integration so there might be tradeoffs if it is used e.g. Instant messaging client features not available - Outlook | Microsoft Learn.

    Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\IM Providers

    Reg Key:

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\IM Providers]

    "DefaultIMApp"="Teams"

    Hi,

    Most of my colleagues reported me that they can open links with prompt if they are sure. No site added in any zone.

    Outlook build is still 2307. Maybe it is some kind .NET update. I do not have official information from Microsoft anywhere.

    However other old issues from one of previous Microsoft Update appear. When they close Excel now it closes Skype for Business client. 

    Exact same issue was generated by Microsoft about an year before with one of their updates.

    I do not have anything more to say.

    If Microsoft do not set their automatic test not to produce such problems when they already done it before, it is ridicules.

    I'll reopen the old issue log for Excel and SfB. Sorry to put such comments here.

    BR,

    Ivan Cholakov
