Disable Office Scripts in Excel for Windows Desktop

This policy setting controls whether Office Scripts (including the relevant commands on the Automate tab) are available for use. If you enable this policy setting, Office Scripts will not be available for use on the installed Excel app on a desktop. If you disable or don't configure this policy setting, Office Scripts will be available for use provided all other prerequisites are met, including the applicable Microsoft 365 subscription license. Note: This policy setting is independent of Office Scripts settings available to administrators in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center. Admin Center settings are always honored by the Excel app regardless of the state of this policy; however, turning on this policy will also hide Office Scripts-related entry points.

This policy has no additional user input fields.
