I have the same issues with my desktop and Surface. My wife has the issues and she uses only 1 PC.

When I open an office app, I get the Restart Required message box. I can dismiss it, and then I try to go to Account Privacy .. Manage Settings.. but the restart Required window comes on again so I can't change the settings.

I can launch Word and Excel in save mode and make sure the setting are set to the same. but I still get the popup..

There must be a fix for this

It is a known issue microsoft engineering is working on a fix

The thread I am looking at started 27 June, and there are dozens of similar threads around. It's now 16th July. When will MS have a proper answer to this problem, instead of trying out solutions on users who think they are getting a proper answer?
