  1. In the Microsoft Intune admin center, go to Devices > Configuration and open (or create) a settings catalog policy for Windows 10 and later.
  2. Add Microsoft Office 2016 (Machine) > Security Settings > IE Security > Bind to object and set it to Enabled, then set excel.exe to TRUE and exprwd.exe to TRUE and groove.exe to TRUE and msaccess.exe to TRUE and mse7.exe to TRUE and mspub.exe to TRUE and onent.exe to TRUE and outlook.exe to TRUE and powerpnt.exe to TRUE and pptview.exe to TRUE and spDesign.exe to TRUE and visio.exe to TRUE and winproj.exe to TRUE and winword.exe to TRUE.
