There are a lot of reasons why your add-ins can be disabled. I'd suggest starting from checking the required prerequisites and making sure no exceptions are thrown in the code. Is your add-in listed in the Disabled Items list?

See How to: Re-enable a VSTO Add-in That Has Been Disabled for more information.

Also make sure the required windows registry keys were added properly at the installation time. See Registry Entries for Application-Level Add-Ins.

The following article describe all the required steps for creating an MSI installer:

Hello, Thanks a lot for your reply I can't find it in disabled Add In !! about Registry i saved in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Office/16.0/Addin_Name – Nesreen Mansour Sep 24 '17 at 21:31
Do you see your add-in listed in the COM add-ins list in Office? – Eugene Astafiev Sep 24 '17 at 23:15
It is not displayed !! – Nesreen Mansour Sep 25 '17 at 10:43
Then you didn't create the required windows registry keys. – Eugene Astafiev Sep 25 '17 at 12:21

The Problem was caused by Antivirus it blocked the installed add in.
