    Why does Programs and Features show the wrong version of Office products?


    I've noticed that the versions of Office 2016 and Project Pro 2016 displayed in Programs and Features is not the same as in the app.


    Programs and Features shows our original install version of Office 2016 16.0.4266.1001 but the app shows the correct version according to the latest patch 16.0.5113.1000.


    This is preventing us from accurately reporting on Office versions in our environment. Is this normal behavior?

    • Press “Windows+X”, go to “Control panel”.

  3. Uninstalled Office

    Hello Jimmy, my name is Irisdiel and I am an independent advisor.

    I suggest the following steps which were provided by Microsoft Support:

    Go to the Control Panel, Programs and Features (or Add/Remove Programs) and find the Microsoft Office installation. Click Change (or Repair) and run the repair on the software. If there is no Microsoft Office program listed there then you should reinstall the
    Office product from the original install media

    Hope this helps!

    Thank you and good luck,

    Regards- .

  4. Why does Programs and Features show the wrong version of Office products?

    Office 2016 programs are not grouped under Microsoft Office 2016

    When I click Start to show everything program on my computer the office individual products are not listed all under

    Microsoft Office 2016 but they are all listed as individual start programs. Is this how 2016 does it because 2013 just showed Microsoft Office 2013 and you click on it and drop down menu shows all the programs such as Word, Access. etc.

    Have I done something wrong when installing or can it be changed to all go under Microsoft Office 2016

    Thanks
