Repeat displays of "Your privacy matters"

My office keeps displaying "Your privacy matters" when starting office applications. This seems to cause exceptions when it is displayed from a .Net program accessing Excel via interop. Any ideas on how to stop the display of the message.

I have tried the SetupProd_OffScrub.exe to completely remove office and reinstall.

I am working on a Domain and do not have full control over some of the settings.

Thanks.

    the privacy box keeps popping up even when clicking Turn on optional and have restarted the computer multiple times and it keeps looping the same message.

    @Craig Copple

    If you open Excel via double-clicking Excel icon directly, this issue won't be reproduced, am I right?

    I suggest you go to File > Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Privacy Options > Privacy Settings, uncheck the box of "Turn ON optional connected experiences" > OK. And then please restart Excel for a check first.
