    Hi,

     

    This helped me with the same issue in my Excel 2016:

    1. Type and launch Regedit in the windows search window.

    2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\ExperimentConfigs\ExternalFeatureOverrides\excel

    3. In the parameter "Microsoft.Office.UXPlatform.FluentSVRefresh" change the value "true" to "false".

     

    Good luck!

In Excel 2016, do the following:

Open / click "File"
Click on "Options"
New window will appear
Click on the link above on "General"
Right go to heading (Bold) with "Personalize Microsoft Office Copy".
Office design: change from white to bundle with the drop down menu (click on the small file below)
Press "OK" ... should be green again :).

 

 

Hope I could help you with these information / links.

Hi! I have the same problem as @ROYL57. Unfortunately, the solution you proposed does not work for me since I can´t see the "Office Design" drop-down menu, nor the "bundle" option on any other menu, under the header "Personalize your copy of Microsoft Office". 

 

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.
