Windows 10: Windows Version 1803 removed Microsoft Office 2016??

This new version installed last night and appears to have removed all of my Microsoft Office 2016 programs and automatically installed Office 365. I DON'T want Office 365. How do I get my Office 2016 programs back?

:)

 

Microsoft Office Home & Student 2016 and Microsoft Office 365 combine together in Windows 10 v.1803?

Hi,

In the beginning, I bought and installed Microsoft Office Home & Student 2016 into my laptop running Windows 10 Home with previous version 1709 (but recently converted to v.1803 after updated with Windows Update).. However, whenever I opened EXCEL / WORD
or POWERPOINT, I saw it was Microsoft Office 365 instead. I checked in Programs and Features (in Control Panel), the Microsoft Office I installed was Home & Student 2016, not Office 365. I'm very confused.

On the other hand, I discovered that the product key of Microsoft Office Home & Student 2016 had changed, it was not the one I entered into my Microsoft account anymore, when I reinstalled Microsoft Office Home & Student 2016 as shown in my online Microsoft
account page after removal of all Microsoft Office versions, I got Microsoft 365 attached together and same thing occurred as mentioned above.

Thus, I wonder is that an issue / new feature of Windows 10 version 1803 or, an issue of other?

Please kindly advise. Thank you.

 

Office 2016 programs are not grouped under Microsoft Office 2016

Hi,

To address your concern, you can compress the view of your Microsoft Office programs inside a single folder in the Start Menu. To do this, follow the steps below:

• Go to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs.
• Right-click on a blank space, click New > Folder.
• Rename the New Folder as Microsoft Office 2016 (or any name that you want).
• Highlight all the Microsoft Office 2016 programs.
• On your keyboard, press Ctrl + X (make sure that all programs are highlighted).
• Double-click Microsoft Office 2016 folder (the folder that you've created).
• On your keyboard, press Ctrl + V.
• Wait until all the programs are moved to the new folder.
• Check the Start Menu if the settings are saved.

Let us know the outcome after you perform steps above for us to assist you further.

 

Office 2016 programs are not grouped under Microsoft Office 2016

I had 2013 and Microsoft Office 2016 was the only entry listed and when you clicked on it you got a

drop down menu that listed all the components of Office. 2016 did not do it that way when I installed it

but listed each component individually.

Is there any way to group them under one entry?
