I applied this fix and I am able open .wk4 files in Excel, but I still
cannot save them. Is there any more information about this new security
feature?

Thanks

All I can see is maybe you missed the bottom part which shows how to set the

"To enable the FileSaveBlock subkey settings, follow these steps:"

I haven't experimented with this at all.
