MS Office Integrations

How are people management this and prevent add-ons from being disabled?

  • Open the Registry Editor and make sure the LoadBehavior keys are set to 3 for the following keys:

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Excel\Addins\BSIPWOfficeAttr.AttrConnect.1]

  • In my computing environment, I did not find the keys where shown in the original post.
    Instead, these keys are located here in my registry:

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Office\Excel\Addins\BSIPWOfficeAttr.AttrConnect.1]
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Office\Excel\Addins\PWOfficeAddIn.ConnectProxy_16]
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\PWOfficeAddIn.ConnectProxy_16]
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Office\PowerPoint\Addins\PWOfficeAddIn.ConnectProxy_16]
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins\BSIPWOfficeAttr.AttrConnect.1]
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins\PWOfficeAddIn.ConnectProxy_16]

    On 02/22/2023, my computing environment consisted of...
