Ok, I have a Windows 10 HP Laptop that I have on a network. Connected to network no problems. Mapped the shared drive, again no problem. Opened up shared drive and I can see all files on the mapped shared drive all day long. I go to open an excel spreadsheet, or word document, or pdf file, will not open. But I can take that same file, save it on the local drive and I can open, edit, save..etc. This is driving me insane, cannot figure out what is happening here. Has anyone else had this issue and if so, how do you resolve?

After reading articles with other users that had a similar issue, I have found the solution to the issue. All Microsoft Office applications, word, excel, power point, etc. were opening in protective view. Went into the applications (each one)>File>Options>Trust Center>Trust Center Settings>Protected View> and make sure none of the boxes are checked. Once I unchecked all the boxes the programs are starting up without issue.
