First, it's highly recommended to use the office version corresponding to the SharePoint version!

Second, Based on Hardware and software requirements (SharePoint Foundation 2010) the SharePoint 2010 works best with Microsoft Office 2010, also works with Microsoft Office 2013.

Third, There is a compatibility issue with SharePoint 2010 and Office 2016 especially with Windows 10, where the Modern Authentication feature is by default enabled in Office 2016.

  • Fortunately, you can disable this feature, this is would solve the issue!
  • But unfortunately it may cause other issues like keep prompting for outlook authentication!

To disable Office 2016 Modern Authentication

  • Run > Regeidt.
  • Navigate to > HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Microsoft.
