How to Disable Add-ins
Note: Disabling add-ins doesn’t uninstall the program from your computer or prevent you from using the program (be it a PDF printer, cloud storage, takeoff software, etc). It just removes the toolbar from the Excel menu. Add-ins can always be re-enabled if you find that you need them. Most of the time, you don’t need them and they can make Excel faster and more stable.
