There's a GPO to turn it off, but you'll need to download the latest Office GPO package. Here's a PowerShell script if you're running an RMM tool - it'll need to run as user:
Function SetRegistryKey($RegistryPath, $Name, $PropertyType, $Value){
# Create the key if it does not exist
If (-NOT (Test-Path $RegistryPath)) {
New-Item -Path $RegistryPath -Force | Out-Null
}
# Now set the value
New-ItemProperty -Path $RegistryPath -Name $Name -Value $Value -PropertyType $PropertyType -Force
}
SetRegistryKey "HKCU:\Software\Policies\Microsoft\office\16.0\common\links" "BrowserChoice" DWORD "0"

I am hesitant to say that I have good news or that I have fixed anything... I honestly don't know if there is anyone left still using this site after all the problems we've had....
