New Intune Autopilot machines are giving this pop up during new user opening first time any office app.

I already tried "Default Office theme (User)" in Enable or Disable state in Settings Catalog, it makes no differences.

    @Pavel yannara Mirochnitchenko , Thanks for posting in Q&A. Based on my testing, when I download and install the following Microsoft 365 app in the following link. I don't get the "Choose a theme for your Microsoft 365 apps" prompt. Could you let me know how you deploy the Microsoft 365 app?

    @Pavel yannara Mirochnitchenko , I have tested to deploy Microsoft 365 app via Intune and configure the default theme in Settings Catalog. On my testing, I don't get the "Choose a theme for your Microsoft 365 apps" prompt either. Here are my configurations:

    For the configuration, I find it shows applied successfully in Intune but under word option, I find the office theme is not select as colorful but blank. It seems this configuration policy can't take affect on Microsoft 365 app.

    Find the following link to configure Microsoft 365 theme, I will test to see if it can work.
