• Your ISP's DNS is blocking the access because these two are new domains. Change to Cloudflare DNS and it should work.
• In Ohook script, its telling that UWP office is installed as well which is not supported, however, it activated the 2016 version successfully.

That's what it says, but it wasn't activated when I opened Powerpoint. I even typed out the generated activation code and it wasn't recognized. I had to go to the coolhub website and type out the activation code in the row that says ProPlus Volume, and that worked.

@CookieUndercover1212 That's probably because you were trying to run UWP office apps, and not really Office 2016 apps. Script mentioned that UWP office isn't supported.

You're right that I also have UWP office apps, even though my intent was to run the Office 2016 apps. So it might have been that having multiple versions affected its abilities after all. I tried uninstalling Office 365 through their uninstall support tool, but it only recognized the 2016 Office, not the UWP apps. Doesn't appear in the control panel either. I've been using the search bar on the bottom-left of the computer to uninstall Microsoft 365 and other pre-installed office applications one by one (can't uninstall SharePoint, and I don't know of any others besides Word, Powerpoint, Excel, and Outlook). I don't know how much that messes things up.

@CookieUndercover1212 You can use this scrubber to uninstall Office. https://github.com/abbodi1406/WHD/raw/master/scripts/OfficeScrubber_12r.zip

It says I'm missing the OffScrubC2R.vbs file

@CookieUndercover1212 Extract the zip file and then run.

You're right, my bad. It worked, thanks.
