Windows 10: Could upgrading Office 2013 to 2016 cause major increase in boot time?

I was here last year with a slow boot issue, so I know the drill in general. After going through all that but not making any serious changes to drivers, etc., a Windows 10 update cured the problem.

Here I am again with a new slow boot problem. But now I am just asking a limited question related specifically to Office 2016 and a boot slowdown that adds at least 30 seconds between power on and the Windows logon prompt.

On 1/24/2019, I installed Office 2016 Pro full version. After doing so, I realized there was a conflict with a prior installation of Office 2013. I uninstalled 2013 several days later. Office 2016 seemed to work fine after that.

I am not sure exactly when I noticed the boot slowdown. I don't know if there may have been an intervening Windows 10 update automatically applied that could have independantly caused the slowdown. Other than the Office installation, I have made no other hardware or software changes to my machine.

I just tried running the boot trace per instructions posted elsewhere:
1. Open a command line as an Administrator (Run As Administrator)
2. Type the following command in the command line Windows: cd %programfiles(x86)%\Windows Kits\10\Windows Performance Toolkit
3. Type the following command to start recording the boot trace: wpr -start GeneralProfile -start CPU -onoffscenario Boot -onoffresultspath c:\wpr -numiterations 1 -filemode
4. Compress the .ETL file generated under the C:\WPR path (very important)

My machine rebooted after line 3 but did not create a new .ETL file. All I could find in C:\WPR was the ETL files I created last August for my previous posting here about boot delays.

So, my question is whether anyone is aware of boot delay problems linked to Office 2016 specifically.

Incidentally, in TaskMan Startup, I see AGCInvokerUtility.exe, which I think was installed with an Acrobat Pro update a week or two before I installed Office 2016. Whether it is necessary or not, from what I have found on the internet, I don't think it could have much impact on bootup.

import office customizations from office 2013 to office 2016

I'm in the process of upgrading from Office 2013 Pro to Office 2016 Pro Plus (both are x32). I've exported all of my customizations on my old system from each office application, now I want to import them into Office 2016. I ran the process using Excel
but in Excel 2016 I do not see my customizations. In the past when I had to rebuild my system, after installing Office 2013 I could import my settings from my
EXPORTEDUI files. Can I export my Office 2013 settings to Office 2016?

 

Aeroglass on Office 2013/2016 - Is it possible?


Yes, I know about aeroglass by bigmuscle. It does not alter Office 2013/2016. This result in the image I posted suggests that it is possible though.

 

Office 2013 issues, upgraded to Office 2016...


Be warned, I had to roll back to Outlook 2013 as my Exchange Server didn't appear to support Outlook 2016.
Another poster suggested it might be related to autodiscovery?
