Hi there!

We have disabled all macros via GPO without notification: http://prntscr.com/va29er
http://prntscr.com/va2hk8

However, the Office still gives 3 to 5 the same notification when we open a new document: http://prntscr.com/va2gzd

Let us know how we can disable notifications completely.

I also noticed that it happens when the Grammarly for Word extension is installed: http://prntscr.com/va4sis
The question is why the notification is visible after turning it off.

    @Shukran ,

    In my opinion, this issue may be caused by Grammarly add-in.

    I would suggest you press Win + R at same time, open Run dialog, enter "winword /a", press Enter to run Word in "administrative installation" mode which prevents add-ins and global templates from being loaded automatically.
    Then please open a new document to check this issue.

    If the issue does not persist, Grammarly add-in may use macros, please go to File > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Add-ins > Disable all application add-ins.

    If the issue still exists, it's best uninstall Grammarly on one PC to have a check.

    Any questions or updates, please let me know.

    Thanks for your answer.

    All three works but we disable add-ins in this case. We are not able to use them. We want to use the add-in and we have disabled all notification: http://prntscr.com/va2hk8

    How to use the add-in without notification. It should not show any notification.
