# Enable Macros for Network Files

### Issue

Office Macros might be disabled when opening Files from Network Shares. These can't be enabled using the Regular Workflow

### Solution

1. Start `inetcpl.cpl` from Windows Search, Windows Run or CommandPrompt/PowerShell
2. Go to tab *Security*
3. In the Horizontal Scroll Menu, select *Local Intranet*
4. Click on Button *Sites*
5. Click on *Advanced*
6. Type your Server IP/DNS Name/Hostname into the Box and click *Add*
7. Close all Dialogues.

After this, you can now re-enable Macros even with Files from Network Shares.

Press: **CLTR+ALT+SHIFT+T**

### ANC / HFA

If Active Noise Cancellation and/or High Fidelity Audio is enabled, this can significantly reduce Performance of Microsoft Teams.

One specific Case, when using a ANC-capable Headset and having ANC enabled for both the Headset itself and Teams, this can lead to a race-condition between the two Systems that will impact performance while in Meetings.

It is recommended, to only use one ANC System and disable HFA if not necessary
