I have spent many hours searching, but no luck. This site was the only way I resolved a difficult Windows Update issue some years ago, I was amazed by the concise and thorough time/effort someone put in (and so made a donation afterwards!).
My problem is that hyperlinks in Word and Excel are giving a critical error "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator".
I'm wanting to link mainly to local files and/or other places in the spreadsheet, but my search results seem to be related to html links (and then often from Outlook). As such the advice seems to be to reset Internet Explorer defaults etc. I'm not sure whether Office treats one of it's hyperlinks as html?
The really annoying thing is that I resolved this problem once before, some years ago, and I cannot remember how, and omitted to save a link to the info. I think it might have been using gpedit.msc (or editing the registry), but AFAIK gpedit.msc isn't available on my Windows 10 Home edition. Though I did manage to find a 'hacked' version, but it does seem to be missing some options, and in any case I'm not sure what I'm trying to change.
I do have Google Chrome as my browser. Any suggestions much appreciated!
