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,

    I have had issues with connecting in the past - don't specifically remember when but I think it was within the last 12 months. Here are a list of things that you could consider trying:

    I repaired my O365 installation

    I removed the Gmail accounts from Outlook and then added them back

    I uninstalled O365 and re-installed it on Windows 10 this process maintained all my settings - I didn't have add all my email accounts back - I currently have more than 10

    The following is what I began dealing with about 3 weeks ago, after renewing my yearly subscription, and it's breaking more and more functionality by the day.

    Of course, the first part is what we've always been used to seeing, but previously, the only other things disabled were items like expanded Thesaurus & Dictionary functionality, Maps, Encyclopedic services, things easily lived without.  Now we can't even sync Office between our devices, collaborate on Office documents, share Office documents, etc.

    The only recourse I can see is to go to MS Office 365 for Business.
