The only time my Office 2021 for Mac applications verify is when Microsoft pushes a new updated version. All other times they launch normally without any verification.


I suggest you try this: Visit your /Application folder, and then for each of the Microsoft applications, right-click on it and choose the Open menu item. A dialog may appear and click OK or Open if presented. Then quit that application. This is the usual approach for applications not installed from the Mac App Store to suppress verification on each launch.
