So if you don’t need the Powershell, you can deactivate it. The same applies to the other functions. Important: If you want to work with macros in Office, you must of course not block their execution with the hardware tools. Readers keep coming back to us that after running the CMD or Excel tool, they no longer work properly. The remedy is to allow the functions again. To do this, simply start the hardware tools again and select the restore. Then adjust the settings to your requirements.
