    Excel 2016 cannot record macro or add ActiveX control in v.1809

    This thing, with version 1809, is getting better and better every day. *Banghead

    I just found out that I can neither record macros in Excel 2016 x64 nor I can add ActiveX controls.

    As it turns out, I'm not the only one in this world having this issue. And how could I possibly be, when we're talking about the Redmond geniuses?

    In the Microsoft Community a lot of people have similar issues.
    One user has stated that after installing Windows 10 Build 18309.rs_prerelease.181220-1256, the problem is resolved.

    Does anyone have similar problems?
