Windows 10 - offline files - missing button/functionality 'Work offline'

Hi Guru Kiran,

thank you for your message, but actually Sync Center is working OK - please see my original post. As stated earlier, I am looking for the following functionality - see below.

Best regards,

Erich

I am missing (or I am not able to find) the functionality to 'To work offline even though you have network access'.

The following link provides the Microsoft documentation for Windows 7
Working with network files when you are offline

I am looking for the following functionality under Win 10. Quoted from Webpage above

"[...]

Sometimes you might want to work with the offline versions of files even though you are connected to the network. This is useful if your network connection is slow or having problems.

• 
  Open the network folder that contains the files you have made available offline. Then, on the toolbar, click
  Work offline. (This button appears only if you have already made the folder available offline.)
  
• 
  When you are finished working with the files offline, click Work online on the toolbar. This will sync any changes you have made offline with the files on the network.
  

[...]"

So, long story short, any help on finding the toolbar button 'Work offline' under Win10 would be much appreciated.

 

Windows 10 - offline files - missing button/functionality 'Work offline'

Hi,

this is my first time posting to this forum. Thus, please let me know if posted to the wrong 'area' and kindly advise me on which would be a better spot fro my question.

I´ve just changed from Windows 7 to Windows 10. Under Win7 I´ve used the offline files functionality with the sync center. Under Win 10 I was able to setup the same - offline files via the sync center.

However, I am missing (or I am not able to find) the functionality to 'To work offline even though you have network access'.

The following link provides the Microsoft documentation for Windows 7

Not receiving emails in Outlook 2013 except when toggling offline mode

Windows 7 32bit 7601

Recently Outlook 2013 has stopped receiving emails or is receiving emails inconstantly. I have checked and rechecked the server settings with Spectrum email and everything checks out and I get the emails just fine on my iphone using the same server settings. I uninstalled AVAST, quick repaired and fully repaired MS Office 2013 as well as completely reinstalled office, started Outlook in safemode and disabled all add-ins in normal mode. I even click the send and receive button but no emails come through. After weeks of trial and error the only way I have been able receive emails temporarily is to toggle Outlooks offline mode. When I toggle it off, then on again emails come through immediately for a certain period of time. Then I will notice emails don't come through anymore so I toggle Outlook's offline mode again and 20 emails come through as if the emails were stuck or as if Outlook automatically goes into offline mode even though it says it is not. Oddly enough I can send emails just fine with no delay. So sending of emails works perfectly and without issue even when receiving emails doesn't work.

I am stumped. Any suggestions?

List of things I have done so far:

1. I uninstalled AVAST so there is no more antivirus software currently installed or turned on.
2. Performed a quick repair and full repaire of MS Office 2013 through control panel using the "change button".
3. Completely reinstalled MS Office 2013.
4. Started Outlook in safemode.
5. Disabled all add-ins in normal mode.
6. Clicking the send and receive button but no emails come through.
7. Checked and rechecked server settings.
8. Sending of emails works fine even when receiving emails doesn't work.
9. Created a new Outlook profile and problem persists.
