  1. I have been looking for this answer for 2 days straight now and every thread I read had no answers.

    It seems so simple, yet nobody seemed to have this information.

    Thank you very much for posting this, I will be following your work going forward.

  2. Thanks for posting, this re-enforces a theory of how we are going to migrate our CRM users away from the Dynamics 365 Outlook add-in onto the CRM App for Outlook as the 2nd workaround that you describe of going into the edit query button fixes the Excel setup on the PC.

    I wonder what registry setting or Office config setting is set in the background so that we can automate the deployment of the setting to all of our users rather than have to go through the manual steps described above.

  3. Carl, I am using Office 365 and Edge with Cloud-based Dynamics 365. I followed your instructions. However, I cannot find where to save encrypted pages to disk in Edge. I followed the rest of the instructions and created a blank work sheet on refresh. I currently have a ticket in with HSO.
