    Hi Noam,

    Based on your description, I tested your problem in my environments and I can reproduce your problem in 2 environments.

    I tested in 4 environments, they are:

    Windows 7 & Office 2007

    Windows 8.1 & Office 2013

    Windows 10 & Office 2013

    Windows 10 & Office 2016

    I set transition timing 10 seconds for each slide, I create 5 slides in my environment. So it will take my 50 seconds to finish the slide show.

    For Windows 8.1 & Office 2013 & Windows 7 & Office 2007 the PPT works fine.

    But for Windows 10 & Office 2013 and Windows 10 & Office 2016, they take me more than 1 minutes, >>the slides transition too late – sometimes a second, sometimes more.<< My result as the same as yours.

    I'm not sure if this wrong behavior was occurred by Office or Windows, I will report this problem by our internal channel and any updates I will let you know.

    I have exactly the same problem with PowerPoint 2016.  I have hundreds of PowerPoint files with music inserted and slides timed to change.  I use them at Church.  When I upgraded to PowerPoint 2016 from 2010, none of the transitions are timed correctly.  What is worse, if I retime the presentation using the PowerPoint 2016 Rehearse feature, the timing still is off when I run the PowerPoint.  This appears to be a problem with PowerPoint 2016 and its Rehearse feature.  I am trying to roll back/reinstall PowerPoint 2010.  This problem needs fixed immediately

    We have thousands of Powerpoint Presentations.

    It's a "breaking feature", not to be backward compatible with older .ppt files.

    This issue have made us downgrade to Office 2010.

    If that is not possible, i advise anyone going the same problem to install PPTVIEWER from Microsoft. It's free...

    Then, create a .bat file with following content:

    ;Change  "active console code page" to one that suports strange chars e.g."^~éç"
chcp 1252
;put all the presentation folder and sub-folders, ppt, pptx, pptm files in "presentations.txt" to present
dir *.ppt /s/b > presentations.txt
;Change  "active console code page" to the previous default 
chcp 850
;Opens PPTVIEW.EXE (location for x64 Architecture, if 32 bits Architecture use %ProgramFiles% instead)
;/L Open list    /F ("F5" - Slideshow)
"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Office\Office14\PPTVIEW.EXE" /L presentations.txt /F
echo End

    This will present all presentations, with the correct timings in an Alfa-Numeric order in that folder.

    If want change the order, put a number before filename.

    e.g.  "1-Presentation.ppt"

    I have the same application as edchair and the same problem.  PowerPoint Viewer is no longer available from MS so that solution is not on the table.  Cannot believe MS can let a problem like this fester so long.   Has anyone tested alternate programs to PowerPoint that might be a work around?

    this is particularly aggravating.  I've spenthours  on a PowerPoint, for perfect timing, which I uploaded to GoogleDrive.  When it is to be used at the performance venue everything is TOTALLY off.  And today is the day of the performance.  

      UGH

    I even wrote to Mr. Joe Belifore at Microsoft to see if someone at the top could bring resolution to this problem.  Not much luck here.

    Is there another app that could be used?

    The Office App for the iPad works just fine.  Why can's MS make it work on a PC?
