How To Disable Microsoft Word Security Notice Pop

Microsoft Security Notice is intentional by Microsoft to warn its users about the content (like hyperlinks) that can share data with external files and websites.

It pops up is when a user tries to paste contents from the web or other sources in a Word file or any other office application. He receives the following message:

Microsoft Word Security Notice

A one-time message would not have bothered users, but whenever pasting contents to the Office applications, this becomes troublesome. Moreover, this feature broke many of the macros/ automated tasks by the individuals or organizations and caused a lot of trouble.

You can turn off security notice in Word by either updating the Office Installation or reverting it to the older version of Office (as discussed later) but before that, check if pasting the web contents only either image or text (without hyperlinks) by editing the formatting of copied text from the internet fulfills your needs.

Keep Text Only of the Copied Contents in Microsoft Word

Update the MS Office of Your PC to the Latest Build

The Word security Notice pop-up is a result of a reported bug in the office installation and updating the MS Office to the latest build may solve the problem.

1. Launch an MS Office application (like MS Word) and create a new document in it.
2. Now, in the Ribbon, head to its File tab and select Account .
3. Then expand the drop-down of Office Updates (in the right pane) and select Update Now . Update Office Application
4. Now, wait till the office installation is updated to the latest build and then relaunch MS Word to check if it is clear of the security notice pop-up.

If you are one of those users who are encountering the Microsoft Security Notice pop-up even when no office application is operating, then either check if any of the other applications ( Signature Manager is reported to cause the issue) is causing the issue or perform a clean boot of your Windows 10 PC to find the problematic application.

Roll Back the Office Installation of Your PC to the Previous Release

If updating the MS Office is not an option, then rolling back the office installation to the previous release may disable the potential security concern pop-up.

1. Firstly, exit all the Office applications and end any of the MS Office processes in the Task Manager of your system.
2. Then click Windows , key-in CMD , in the results displayed, right-click on Command Prompt , and select Run as Administrator . Open Command Prompt as Administrator
3. Now execute the following: “C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\ClickToRun\OfficeC2RClient.exe” /update user forceappshutdown=true updatetoversion=16.0.14026.20308 where C is your system drive.
4. Once completed, check if MS word is clear of the security notice pop-up.
5. If so, then launch an office application (like Microsoft Word) and open a new document in it.
6. Now, on the Ribbon, head to the File tab and select Account .
7. Then expand the dropdown of the Office Updates and select Disable Updates . Disable Office Updates

How to Fix “Printer is in an error state” Issue?

The error “ WinRAR Error: Next Volume Is Required ” usually appears when you’re extracting a multi-part RAR archive and WinRAR can’t find (or can’t correctly identify) the next file in the sequence . This often happens when a volume is missing , stored in a different folder , or renamed in a way that breaks the archive’s expected order .

In this guide, we’ll go over the most reliable fixes confirmed by affected users, along with what each method is doing behind the scenes so you can choose the right one for your situation.

Important: To extract multi-volume archives, you should always start extraction from the first file in the set. This is usually file.part1.rar , or (in older sets) the main .rar file that comes before .r01 , .r02 , and so on.

1. Download and Place the Missing RAR File

WinRAR needs all parts of a multi-volume archive to complete extraction. This error usually appears when one of the volumes in a set like .part2.rar , .r01 , .r02 , .001 , and similar naming formats is missing . Downloading the missing volume and placing it in the same folder as the other parts allows WinRAR to continue extracting normally .

1. Look at the error message or review the list of archive parts in the folder.
2. Identify which volume is missing (for example, part2.rar , .r02 , .001 , etc.).
3. Go back to the website or source where you downloaded the archive.
4. Locate and download the exact missing file using the same naming format as the others.
5. Make sure the new file name matches the pattern of the rest. Example: If you have file.part1.rar and file.part3.rar , the missing one must be file.part2.rar .
6. Move the downloaded missing volume into the same folder as the other archive parts.
7. Confirm that all parts are in a single folder before extracting.
8. Right-click the first file in the series (usually part1 or the main .rar file) and select Extract Here or Extract to Folder .
9. WinRAR should now detect all volumes and continue extraction normally .

2. Manually Browse & Select the Next Volume

Use this method only if the next volume already exists , but WinRAR is failing to detect it automatically. This can happen due to incorrect naming , the file being in a different location , or a temporary file access issue. Manually browsing helps WinRAR locate the correct volume and resume extraction without interruption .

1. Right-click the first file in the series (usually .rar or part1.rar ) and select Extract Here or Extract to Folder .
2. When WinRAR cannot find the next volume, it will show the “ Next Volume Is Required ” message.
3. A small window will appear, allowing you to manually select the next volume .
4. Use the file explorer window to locate the folder where the other archive parts are saved.
5. Select the next part based on the naming order (example: select file.part2.rar after file.part1.rar ).
6. Make sure the selected file matches the naming format of the archive (no extra characters like (1) and no mismatched numbering).
7. WinRAR will resume extraction using the selected volume .
8. If additional volumes are missing or stored separately, WinRAR may prompt you again. Repeat the same process until extraction completes.

3. Rename the RAR files in Order

WinRAR relies on a proper naming sequence (such as file.part1.rar , file.part2.rar , file.part3.rar ) to extract multi-volume archives. If a file is named incorrectly, contains extra characters, or is out of order, WinRAR may fail to locate the next volume and show this error. Renaming the files correctly helps WinRAR follow the sequence and extract the archive without interruptions .

Note: Renaming only changes the file name , not the file contents. The goal is to restore the correct sequence so WinRAR can detect the next volume.

1. Go to the folder where all the RAR files are saved.
2. Make sure all parts of the archive are present and stored in the same folder .
3. Check how the parts are currently named . Common patterns include:

file.part1.rar, file.part2.rar, file.part3.rar
file.rar, file.r01, file.r02, file.r03

1. Look for files that don’t match the expected numbering pattern (for example, file.part01.rar , file.part1(1).rar , or unrelated names).
2. Rename each file so it follows the same order without extra characters or mismatched numbering. Example:

Incorrect: file.part1.rar, file.part3.rar, file.part2(1).rar
Correct: file.part1.rar, file.part2.rar, file.part3.rar

1. Make sure the text before the number is exactly the same for all files.
2. Only the last part number should change.
3. Right-click the first file in the series (usually part1.rar or the main .rar file) and select Extract Here .
4. WinRAR should now recognize the sequence and continue extraction normally .

If you still get the same prompt: the archive set is likely incomplete (a part was never downloaded or was removed), or one of the volumes is corrupt and must be re-downloaded from the original source.
