Loading Word add-ins on Windows Server

I am trying to load a Word add-in in the following context:

  • Windows Server 2016
  • Word Click-to-Run version 1804

But it cannot load. I've tried with a couple of other add-ins (Scrip Lab, too) and I've tried the online version of Word, too, on IE11 (also on Windows Server 2016), but none work.

My guess is that add-ins are not supported on Windows Server, but I didn't find such restrictions here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/concepts/requirements-for-running-office-add-ins so I'm not a 100% sure.

Is there any way to make add-ins work in this context?

ESC (Enhanced Security Configuration) in Internet Explorer is turned on by default in Windows Server. It has to be off for Office Add-ins.
