    What settings are you trying to configure? Is it just to block Microsoft Autoupdate Checks?

    15.31 edition of Office 2016 blocks macro access to system API's so some mitigation.

    Quote from Microsoft "We have a new Production build being released today (15.31) that has much stricter defaults for VB macros (i.e. They can no longer call system() API's)"
