Auto log in to Word (or Office) 2016

Question

Hello,&nbsp;We are looking for a way to make the login to Word 2016 with an Office 365 organisational account persistent for our users. Our users often use shared pc's to log into.&nbsp;The problem is they always have to manually log in to Word after logging into Windows. We don't have roaming profiles and use ADFS. Ideally there is a policy or script which can autologin the user into Office 2016 after logging into WIndows.&nbsp;Bart

I logged a call on this and was told it only works with the click to run install, are you using MSI like me?

We used to work with MSI but&nbsp;want to switch to C2R. So far&nbsp;our tests are inconclusive.&nbsp;Is it linked to the installation method (MSI vs C2R) or the version (Office 2016 Professional&nbsp;vs Office 365 ProPlus)?

From the info I have, it's tied to the install method, but I might actually clarify that with support while I have the case open.
