Windows 10: windows 10 version 2004 not installing updates for Microsoft Office 2007

After doing a clean install of Windows 10 from the latest Version 2004 Media Creation Tool from Microsoft. I find that Windows Update no longer downloads and installs updates for Microsoft Office 2007 suite or its apps.

I know Office 2007 is out of support life, but all past versions of Windows 10 still updated the Office 2007 apps via Windows Update.

I have checked the: Install updates for other Microsoft products under Advanced Options in fact checked is now the default setting in version 2004.

I have gone into Word 2007 and see that again Word starts up an app asking if I want to automatically install updates, so I have checked this off as well.


Still NO updates for Office 2007 apps get downloaded or installed by Windows Update. Was this by design, or a bug??

Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007

This is my list of installed Office 2007 updates [Control panel, Programs & features, View installed updates]



- I have installed Office 2007 Word, Excel, PowerPoint & Access.
- If you have installed other Office 2007 components you will find others shown in your own list of installed updates [once you are fully up to date].

I suggest saving copies of each one now in case they are ever removed from the MS update catalog downloads lists.
https://www.catalog.update.microsoft...?q=Office+2007
- Just download the updates shown in your own list of installed updates rather than the whole list provided by the MS update catalog because the catalog includes ones that were subsequently superceded by others.
- SP3, which was a major update that established a new beginning for Office 2007 and upon which all further updates were based, is also described in https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/kb/2526086 and the article also provides a download link for it
- If I reinstall Office, I work through the updates list in KB numerical order starting with SP3
