    No, it gave me options of things I could do but not what I need to do to fix my issue.

    For Office 2016 for Mac it’s seems just opposite: only cached mode is available, turning it off not an option.

    Following the two paths the option to disable the option is gray, and it is not possible to disable it.

    This does not apply for Office 2016 for Mac. Cached mode is not available for Mac version.
