I DID turn off Automatic Proxy Configuration for most of a day and it didn't crash once, but that created unworkable connectivity problems. Frankly, this IS NOT a workaround for me. We will update this content when more information is known, including a fix or additional workaround. Contact your local network administrator for more information on your network Turning off “Auto Proxy Discovery” or “Automatic Proxy Configuration” is a possible workaround, if allowed by your organization’s network configuration. Apple is investigating how to resolve this issue. This is because some customers are reporting Office 2016 for Mac applications are closing unexpectedly, or crashing, on macOS Sierra. We recommend customers do not upgrade to macOS SierraĪt time. The 'answer' in these forums, so far, has been:Īpple released macOS Sierra on 9/20. On another thread, I mentioned that t he issue presented itself to me immediately upon install of Office for Mac 2016 on El Capitan with no change when I upgraded to Sierra.
