I keep getting the following in my office products:

RESTART REQUIRED  Restart office to apply changes to your privacy settings

I have not made any changes to my privacy setting recently yet keep getting these prompts. Anyone else running into and discovered what the cause of it is?

    Hi Gtr-Stosh,

    I'm Charles, an Independent advisor trying to help.

    Try the following to verify which of them help us solve the problem, if the step you are applying does not solve the problem, continue with the following.

    1.- Open an Office application, for example Word >> File (Click on this option) >> Account >> Manage settings >> Account privacy >> You will see the table: Your data, controlled by you (Scroll down) >> Connected experiences >> Allow Office to analyze your content to provide you with improvements (Activate this option) >> Accept, quit Word, verify the results.

    2.- Close session and start session in office.

    3.- Repair of the tool, this action is taken when one of its applications is not working correctly or shows error messages.

    I hope the steps work for you

    Attentive to any comments

    Have a happy day

    Best Regards,

    Charles.

    Sorry but I'm not interested in Office analyzing my content so won't allow this.
