Server Excel Error: HRESULT: 0x800AC472

This seems to have solved my issue in case anyone else is having the same problem. It was a pop up that kept occurring randomly when opening Excel.

  1. Open any O365 application (word, excel, etc.)

  2. Click File -> Options -> Trust Center -> Trust Center Settings...

  3. Click Privacy Options -> Privacy Settings...3

  4. Uncheck the "Turn on optional connected experiences" box

  5. Sign out of the Microsoft Application you have open

  6. Open the Microsoft 365 (Office) application on the computer and sign out

  7. Restart all office applications

  8. Sign back into the account on Microsoft 365 (Office)

  9. Open a Microsoft application and log in. The pop-up should be gone.
