Just a heads up, there is a Zero Day in Microsoft Office. 

More info: 

The good news is that if running Office 2021 and later, only a restart of Office Apps is required to mitigate the issue.

Anything older will need Registry entries set:

CVE-2026-21509 - Security Update Guide - Microsoft - Microsoft Office Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability

Hey Shane, 

All good thank you! I’ve been MIA due to other commitments but hoping to come back once things calm down. 

Hope you are keeping well!
