Description
Hello everyone, I would appreciate a lot your support with this problem.
I've been facing this error when I run the CustomTaskPane example [(link to example).](https://github.com/Excel-DNA/Samples/tree/master/CustomTaskPane)

This only happens when I run excel (or visual studio) as administrator. My current excel version is this one:

This is a recent version so I tried to replicate the problem using office professional plus 2016 16.0.4266.1003, but in that version works good.
I'm also concerned about this issue [issue](https://github.com/Excel-DNA/ExcelDna/issues/220) but this time the add-in is not disabled by excel.
Thanks a lot.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the CustomTaskPane example while Excel or Visual Studio runs as administrator, using Excel 365 version 16.0.12827.20200 and comparing it with Office Professional Plus 2016 version 16.0.4266.1003. Review the discussion and the related issue 220; done means identifying why registration fails in the newer administrator-launched environment and documenting or fixing the behavior.
