Hi,

How did you re-install Office 2016?

If you uninstall Office from Contral Panel only, this problem may related not uninstalling completely.

I suggest you download the Office tool and run the tool to uninstall Office completely:

Then re-install Office 2016 and check if this issue is still existed.
