Excel (2019) Solver Issue error message:

One of my customers is getting a Excel (2019) Solver error message:

Microsoft Visual Basic

Run-Time error '453': Can't find DLL entry point MessageBoxIndirectW in user 32.

First, I tried everything that I seen on-line to solve this issue, including remove office 2019 and reinstalled etc. and also a Clean Boot I also, tested running the Excel Solver under a different computer and was getting the same error.

Note: Office is being pushed through Microsoft Endpoint from the SM Team.

Anyone's help would be appreciate it.
