Windows 10: how to stop office 2016 update on windows 10

Hi,


My client is running windows 10 and we want to stop specific update from reinstalling since it cause solidwork to crash now and then.


The offending updates are:

KB3114874, KB 4022137, KB4011274, KB2553347


I download show/hide update from

https://support.microsoft.com/en-au...t-a-windows-update-from-reinstalling-in-windo


I have uninstall those 4 update then run the wushowhide.diagcab, but and click hide update, but those 4 update does not show up on the list update I want to hide, but it show other windows pending windows update.


Does the wushowhide program only show list of windows update only or any update that using windows update program, since those 4 update seems to be office update.


From what the user told me those 4 update get installed for some reason even, we pause windows update; so does office 2016 Home and business update get download and install independently of windows update service?


I appreciated if you could help me how to stop those 4 office update from re-installing.


Thank you.


Regards

Windows 10 Pro and Office 2016 Updates

I need a better understanding of how Windows 10 Pro and Office 2016 updates interact. I have a new Windows 10 Pro machine (version 1703, O/S Build 15063.413).
It has Office 2016 on it. I also have a Window 7 machine, with Office 2007 on it.
I am familiar with how Windows Update automatically updates the Windows 7 O/S in addition to updating Office 2007 at the same time. However, I am not completely familiar with how Windows Update updates Office 2016 on a Windows 10 Pro machine.
I have a few questions in conjunction with some of the settings that are in effect.



1. At Settings > Update & Security (aka Windows Update) > Advanced Options (under Update settings), I have the box checked for “Give me updates for other Microsoft products when I update Windows”.
Is a check in this box supposed to give me the security updates to Office 2016??
I ask because:



a. When I check the installed updates at Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features > Installed Updates, I do not see any Office 2016 updates listed there.
I only see the current updates for Windows 10, Version 1703 O/S (all with the date of June 13, 2017).



b. At Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features > Installed Updates, I do not see any of the Office 2016 updates that are listed at

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4023935/june-13-2017-update-for-microsoft-office , where 18 updates are displayed, 8 of them with a June 13, 2017 date and 10 of them listed with a June 6, 2017 date.
Should I be seeing most of
these Office 2106 updates listed in my Installed Updates, since I have the box in 1) above checked?
[I use Outlook, Powerpoint, Word, & Excel; I do not use Skype or Visio].



2. I can open Word 2016 or Excel 2016, create a file, click on the File tab, click on Account on the left, click on About Word, and see the current version.
Before step 3 below, I saw that I had 16.0.8067.2115 (*released May 18, 2017).



3. I can also click on Update Options > Update Now. After I clicked on Update Now, I checked About Word again, and saw that the version changed to 16.0.8201.2102 (*released June 13, 2017).



a. Does this June 13 version incorporate the most recent Office 2016 security updates (i.e., the ones listed at the link in 1b)?
Or is it just a new build that has added features but not any security updates?



b. If it does not include the most recent Office 2016 security updates (or as a matter of fact, any security updates dating back to when I first installed Office 2016), how do I manage to get the Office
2016 on my machine updated with all of the necessary Office 2016 security updates (since I do not see any Office 2016 security updates at Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features > Installed Updates)?



4. I am fairly certain that I am a non-subscriber of Office 365.
How can I tell for sure?

Microsoft Office 2019 Will Run on Windows 10, and Only Windows 10

Then windows will become a yearly sub (M$ will call it updates), just wait. They'll try to pinch the corporations first. Hopefully, those dumb bells have the balls and wits to show 'em the middle finger and ditch 'em.
