When using MS FixIt-Tool, adding / disabling or changing telemetry relevant registry entries and scheduled tasks does not impact uninstall procedure. But CCleaner, TuneUp and all those other "little helpers/optimizers/repairers" could be responsible. I do not use them. Because they do more harm to the system than they really "help".
Ok thank you for that then it was probably something else and yeah I agree that ccleaner was a bad idea but it doesn't matter anymore. I wiped out the computer and did a fresh install of Windows 10. I still miss Windows 7 and I REALLY wish that Windows 10 was not so complicated and overwhelming. I still get an occasional msdosprompt window open and close real fast on my screen and it happened earlier after reinstalling my printer and rebooting the computer. Not sure what that is or why it's doing it but at least my computer seems to be working ok now. Thank you for answering my question!
Hi, I just updated a CURRENT channel build to the latest version 16.0.7967.2082. This seemed to come hot on the heels of of build 16.0.7870.2038 (only 2 days ago) so I am guessing there was problem with 16.0.7870.2038? I have noted also that in the Product Information page under Accopunt there is absolutely no information now about the build level. I have observed this on more than one machine now, Can anyone confirm similar or otherwise? (Info in Program and Features listing is correct.) (Running on latest Win 10 - 1703 ) Thanks
How to see Office build outside Office 2016? I don't see office build number after I updated to latest version. Edit: Is because this:
Hi I seem to have a version reversion scenario going on with my systems! As previously posted I recently updated to 16.0.7967.2082 (current channel 365). This morning another update seemed to be available which surprised me but I let it download and install. Surprisingly now the Product Information info under Account has come back but the office install seems to have reverted to 16.0.7870.2031 and seems to think it is up to date! I have had this happen on three systems, one having updated automatically by itself. The info under the Program and Feature listing also reports that the older 7870.2031 is now installed. Anyone seeing similar / have any thoughts as to what may be gong on? Many thanks
Stupid Microsoft error. I assume, they added this version on "Current"-channel by mistake. I was able to download and install this version, but Office Update always reverted back to prior version. Now this "16.0.7967.2082" version is not valid for "Current" anymore. It was removed from version list by MS. 16.7870.2031 is now valid again for "Current" distribution channel. But I think, we will see an new "Current" version real soon...
Thanks ratzlefatz. I did come across some wider traffic while the forums were being migrated, that indicated this was the most likely explanation. Never a dull moment!
There are two new tasks in the latest fast channel, OfficeBackgroundTaskHandlerRegistration OfficeBackgroundTaskHandlerLogon I wonder if it is safe to disable them.
Regarding "Current/Retail" distribution channel: There are still mismatches between available full setup-packages and updates. While there exists a new "Current" version 16.0.7967.2139, update only has 16.0.7929.1020 listed as latest available. So, if you have newest "Current" installed and start update, it will revert back to older version , "Insider Fast" is perfectly synchronized. Both, setup/update = 16.0.8117.1000. Hey quality assurance team at MS Office update: Do your work and let the sysops adjust the update availabilty list!
