Hey guys, I installed Office 2021 Pro Plus Retail and activated through KMS VL ALL. It converted it to VL (LTSC version) but the update channel is still Current (Retail/RTM) and it has a Retail build version. However, I'm not seeing the Visual Refresh nor the megaphone icon. I know one can edit the reg to get it but last time I installed Office the same way the megaphone and Visual Refresh appeared after a few week or so. How come it doesn't appear immediately after installation and activation?
Microsoft.Office.OneNote.FluentSectionTabShadows Microsoft.Office.UXPlatform.FluentSV.Dialogs Microsoft.Office.UXPlatform.OutSpace.InActiveWindowButtonColors ..and a few other options. As before, only from the logs of the test version.
@Dolmatov Thanks but as I mentioned, I did automatically receive the visual refresh on the LTSC version last time because the update channel was Current (Retail/RTM). It took some time but I didn't enable it manually at all. Hence me wondering now after reinstalling Office the same way (after a reformat of Windows 11) whether it's normal that it needs time until it gets enabled by itself again.
It could be that you have multiple (retail and volume) licences installed as this is what cause my office 365 to lose the visual refresh. I uninstalled and scrubbed all office versions and reinstalled again to get the visual refresh.

You can do it yourself. The information is above. I sometimes "bump" the topic when I find interesting flags on the topic. Since I use test versions, there is no single updated post. Options are provided more for exploration and display of Microsoft's experiments in design direction, eliminating the need to test Microsoft 365 yourself and look for hidden flags. Again, I note that the data is constantly outdated and a complete search is not easy, so there is no structured form of data based on product versions. P.S. The quoted post is written as a joke, showing a lot of unoptimized child module layers. You can find other parts of Microsoft 365 apps where switching is more convenient through the sidebar. P.S. (2) Don't enable the "DevInstall" option, it can cause inconvenience. With this option, I get "diamond" (My Benefits) and disable network functions. Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Common] "DevInstall"=dword:00000001
Thank you very much, As I am new I still cant upload links I will see what I do with my install of office, thanks again.
I was talking about the reg file added with the command "Visual Refresh [Retail] LTSC Edition With Block KEYS.cmd" that is at the top of the tread
Open this file in notepad. Open the registry, find the entries from notepad and delete them in the registry.
Installed ProPlus 2021 Volume LTSC x64 using the Office 2013-2021 C2R Install + Lite by Ratiborus with default license options. Successfully switched the interface to a new style using the Visual Refresh [Retail] LTSC Edition With Block KEYS.zip script. Nothing else helped to do it. Many thanks to Xtreme21, Krakatoa, rioachim. PS: Win 11 x64 Pro.
