Outlook Trust Center / Macro Settings greyed out

Since the last automated update of Office 365 ( to Microsoft® Outlook® for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2209 Build 16.0.15629.20196) 32-bit) I cannot run my personal macros anymore.

The options in Trust Center / Macro Settings are all greyed out.

But this is a personal PC which is not a member of a windows domain and there are no Office 2016 Group Policies present on my Computer.

After a lot of reserach I tried:

  • Starting Outlook as Administrator

  • Manually setting Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Security\adminsecuritymode and Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Security\Level

but nothing helps.

Btw its also greyed out in Word and Excel. Before the silent update last night it was working fine for years

Can anyone help?

Thanks, Wolfgang

Hello again Wolfgang,

I had to research what this "Microsoft Action Pack" is about. I found the following site that indicates that you can get "Five advisory hours with a Partner Technical Consultant". Maybe you have used up these hours, but I think that your question would be best directed to them because it is most likely something to do with the macros being disabled.
