    Hi everyone

    I have office 2019 ProPlus installed along with Visio and ProjectPro.
    I cannot get it to update.
    Windows updates for other product is selected in WU, but still won't update when given the command.
    It just doesn't react.
    I am using Windows 10, 1909 version.
    Is there some sort of troubleshooter or some hint/tips/tricks?
    Thanks

    Did you check and open "word" or any of the office apps, and go to file > account and to update office?

    @Airbus
    From which channel did you install office and what is your current version?

    I did the repair online option and it got corrected somehow.
    I appreciate your help.
    Can I close this thread or put "solved" here?

    Do you have any issues with downloading updates for Windows or is it just Office 2019? I ask this as there are well documented Windows Update problems during the last 2 weeks or so. I have Office 2019 Pro Plus and although this updates fine, I have had to manually enter Google DNS settings to enable Windows to update. I did not check at the time as to if this affected MS Office as well.
