Windows 10: Windows Features Update 1903 and Office 2016

I have just updated from Win 10 1809 to 1903 and now every time I go to go into my Office 2016 suite of programs I have to enter the Product key, Instal then when the program opens I have to Activate it by re-entering the product key and re-installing again. I tried to install from the original file and a message came up that the bootstrap was missing. Has anybody got any clues. It means that now to save all that hassle I have to leave all Office progarms open having gone through the Activation twice!

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?
