Office 2019 - Your Privacy Option Popup

[jessica]

Does anyone know how to get rid of the "Your Privacy Option" Popup when Office 2019 starts up?

reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common" /v PrivacyNoticeShown /t REG_DWORD /d 2 /f

This can also be configured in the Office2016 / 2019 / 365 ADMX Group Policy files.

 

User > Policies > Admin Templates > Microsoft Office 2016 > Privacy > Trust Centre

 

- Allow the use of additional optional connected experiences in Office

- Allow the use of connected experiences in Office

- Allow the use of connected experiences in Office that analyse Content

 

I disabled these 3 policies and the message no longer shows when Office is ran.

Turns out that disabling these settings prevents the use of importing youtube videos into powerpoint.

 

@liverpoolit reg hack works though.

Has anyone had any success with the reg key on Office 2021? I am still seeing the Privacy prompt even with the reg key for some reason.
