    We had a brief power outtage here today. I assumed, when I restarted my PC, I would have to do the command prompt fix again. Surprise! When I opened, Word, Outlook, Excel...no "privacy settings restart" message.

    Could it be that MS has fixed this...or did the unscheduled power interruption shut down fix it? Unlikely, I know :)

    I would think Microsoft should get a fix so we don't have to chase around and try this and that and it doesn't work.
    Big time Corp like Microsoft should be able to figure out their privacy setting is screwing the 365 up, so remove the update permanently or fix it!

    Yep. Been there and they had me do that as well.

    Microsoft sucks at Support.
