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!
