Disble macros using GPO

Hi,
I have installed all latest 11/2021 office ADMX templates in my domain controller, then created user settings for word, excel with this option:
"Macro notification settings - Disable VBA macros with notification"
And this settings is working, so when user open .xlsm file the popup display notification "Macros have been disabled" , but user can click "Enable content" and voila all macros are running.
Is any way to remove possibility for users to enable that settings?

Hello Tutek,

You need both the:
Computer or User Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Microsoft Office 2016 > Security Settings> "Disable VBA for Office applications"

and

User configuration > Policies > Administrative templates > Microsoft Word 2016 > Word options > Security > Trust Cente> "Disable all macros with notification"
