    I use MTK too, and no problem with activation and office configuration.
    try reinstalling your office, Disable your AV/Windows Defender, activate using latest MTK, and dont forget to Exclude AutoKMS (C:\Windows\system32\AutoKMS) from AV scanning before reenabling your AV.

    Exclude C:\Windows\AutoKMS\AutoKMS.exe, MSE definitly dislike the toolkit (apparently :cool2: ).

    Am experiencing the same problem. Removed office installation via MTK uninstaller, reboot, then re-install. Activate using MTK and all is well until log off and back on or reboot. Then Attempting to load an office app brings up the "Configuration" screen again. Have the following exclusions in my Avast: %WINDIR%\Temp\SppExtComObjHook.dll, %LOCALAPPDATA%\Temp\SppExtComObjHook.dll, C:\Windows\AutoKMS\AutoKMS.exe. Have seen this issue addressed elswhere on MDL where it was suggest a corrupt install, but as I said, deep uninstall and reinstall seems to be only a temporary fix. Any other suggestions?
