In this case we can uninstall the update and disable Office updates in order to wait for Microsoft itself to launch a new update to solve the problem in question. We must also keep in mind that some updates, instead of improving Office performance, cause the opposite effect, that is, it can negatively affect Office performance and experience. īy default, Microsoft Office is automatically updated through Windows Update, but at specific times we may not want Office to update automatically either for a space or work issue in which we cannot wait for the process to be completed. Regardless of the features integrated in Microsoft Office, what is sought with the updates is to improve and optimize the general use of each application, such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc., and in this way correct security flaws, compatibility problems and others.

Another thread suggests it is run after missing 3 updates. If so these commands will need running every 90 days. One thread suggests the nag is run after 90 days without an update. microsoft-officemicrosoft-office-2016notificationswindows update.
