I've disabled macros for MS Office products via GPO like this: https://superuser.com/a/1176677/440382. Unfortunately, this causes a very weird error in MS Word (both versions 2016 and 2013):

multiple alert windows pop up warning about macros (something like "The function you are attempting to run contains macros or content that requires macro language support..."): enter image description here

despite in GPO (AD Group Policy) there is "Disable all without notification" which also might be seen in local MS Word options itself: enter image description here

This error occurs only when you open a second MS Word window. When only one .DOC(X) file is opened, there is no such a problem.

Unfortunately, this problem occurs even when there are no macros whatsoever in the DOC(X) file(s).

Any ideas, how to fix it? It is VERY frustrating for our users...

PS:

  • I need to have macros globally disabled, because of security reasons
  • sorry for screenshots in Czech, that is how the software runs here...

You could check for any addons that have modules installed or for any code in Personal workbook of the specific user.

I was getting the same error after disabling VBA in MS Office. It was popping up whenever I opened a document, even a blank one.

Turned out to be an Adobe PDF addin as the cause:
