Security Settings for Linked Data Types and Dynamic Data Exchange not available
If this is not the right location to ask this question, please refer me to the correct one.
Using Excel 2016 (Office 365)
Microsoft Excel for Office 365 MSO (16.0.10730.20304) 64-bit
We are trying to troubleshoot why an excel spreadsheet with formulas is taking a long time to calculate (15 minutes). There is another computer we tested on and it calculates in about 45 Seconds.
Two difference I noticed on the computer that runs the calculations faster, are:
Security settings for Linked Data Types
and
Security settings for Dynamic Data Exchange.
I am including a screenshot.
On my computer, I do not have those 2 additional options.
I have already enabled DDE using the registry:
