[SOLVED] Problem with updates Office 2016 - Windows 7

Yes. Move to Windows 10 now!!!!

 

I'm trolling you! Te estoy troleando hombre!

 

You get Office 2016-Updates by WINDOWS-Update only if you are using Office 2016 Volume-Edition.
And Volume-Update-cycle is mostly on Patch-Tuesday (once in a month).

But if you are using Click2Run Office Insider/Preview or Current/Retail then you must use the Update from within Office.
Start (for example) Word, then -> File -> Account -> Update Options -> Update now.

 

Short answer: M$ conspiracy against Windows 7


Not trolling this time.

 

If you are using Windows Update instead of Microsoft Update, Office 2016 updates can't be reached.

windsman.

 

Last time i checked you only get office updates by using Microsoft Update (by selecting you want windows update to switch to ms update or when you startup an office program like word it will ask you if you want office updates to be downloaded, both options result in the same: office get's it's updates by ms update)

Thanks again! I saw the checkbox for deleting, didnt see the delete post button on the right

 

I don't think the best solution is addressed by using the script posted, but rather making available, activating, MICROSOFT UPDATE EXTENSION by which Microsoft update gets Office 2016 updates for versions without the update button in the account menu.


Take a quick look to my recent thread as well

It can be done with the mu site, .vbs script, or powershell:

Code:

$ServiceManager = New-Object -ComObject "Microsoft.Update.ServiceManager"
$ServiceManager.ClientApplicationID = "My App"
$ServiceManager.AddService2("7971f918-a847-4430-9279-4a52d1efe18d",7,"")
