I have tried all online fixes but nothing is working; inetcpl.cpl, uninstalling & reinstalling, advanced options internet explorer & updating microsoft office. It just started giving me this error a couple of days ago.

    I'm using Microsoft Office 2016--Could this be the problem? I've tried all the other suggested solutions. I have a new laptop and Windows 11--and for a while there was no problem inserting online pictures. But within the last 2 weeks, I can't get it to work on Word, Power Point or Excel. It keeps saying "Error," Very frustrating.

    My privacy settings allow online content. I've tried shutting down the computer several times---doesn't help.

    I'd glad to buy Microsoft 365 but if that isn't the problem and won't fix it, I don't want to update when I don't seem to need it.

    Thanks.

    I did that, now I found out it only works on PC Desktops, NOT Laptops

    Is that the issue? Can you look into that?

    I did let microsoft know and did report this issue and got no response. Here is an update, I can insert online pictures on a desktop pc but NOT a laptop, any laptop I try it is like a setting you are not thinking of got turned on. I have done all the fixes in your post and everything else posted. Thanks
