Do you have several users or accounts on your machine, Drew, and using Fast
User Switching? If so, Offline Files are not available with FUS enabled.

I have a number of users, and not sure if Fast User Switching is being
used (many hands on this machine, so it could have been enabled without
my knowing it). How do you turn off FUS? Thanks for the quick response-Drew

You can turn FUS off or on in Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Services.
Look in the list in the right pane. Fast User Switching under "name" can be
right-clicked, then select Stop. You may need to restart the system after
making the change. If there are multiple users and accounts, you might want
to check with other users before shutting it down. Perhaps there is a
reason for running the machine with FUS configured?

Good advice, but in this case, I think it was just playing around (this
was the first tablet in the office). After everyone has played with it,
it will be used 90% of the time by one employee. Thanks-Drew

OK, I checked the tablet, and FUS was not running. I
tried starting it, then stopping it, then reboot, and it
did not make any difference. Any other ideas? Thanks-Drew

Have you followed the instructions in Help and Support, Drew? Just open H&S
and type "offline files" in the Search area. Without knowing specifically
what you've attempted, it might be best for you to run through that
information.

That's the problem-Help and Support provide no info for this situation
of the actual Offline files Tab missing. It goes through the steps of
setting up off-line files. The Tab itself is simply not there. I would
hate to have to reinstall the OS to have to get this one little tab
back. Thanks for all your help on this-Drew

Drew, I'm still trying to track this down for you. Do you have Terminal
Services enabled on your machine? That would cause Offline Files not to
show.

Good question-I will check-how would I unenable Terminal Services? Would
it be stopping a service, or fully uninstalling it? -Drew

it's been a long day; I don't think "unenable" is a word-how about
disable? :-) -Drew

Go into Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Service and right-click the
listing for Terminal Services, then select Stop - if it is enabled.
Unenabled works for me, although I believe disable is better. 8-)

Remember, you may have to restart your system after making the change.

OK, when in-Terminal Services were set to manual, but
running. I was not able to stop it, so I set it to
disable and restarted the machine. No luck in getting the
Offline Files Tab back up. I even checked the service
again (it was now off and listed as disabled) and then
restarted the machine one more time. The tab still does
not show. I also tried logging in as someone else, and
the tab is still not there-Drew

Okay, Drew. I'll see what else I can dig through. There is a solution.
