Something very strange with my desktop and laptop computers. I installed Office 2013 Professional Plus a couple of months ago. Last month and this month I have checked for updates and I never get an office update to show up on either computer. When I had Office 2007 I did. I also get the quality and security updates for Windows 7 and IE11. I am in group B and only install security updates. I also wait until defcon 3 or better to download and install updates.

Any idea what is going on here?

@Erik it may depend on what version of Off2013 you installed. If it was a CTR version, it does it’s own updating, in the background, without asking your permission each time…

Thanks! I didn’t know such a version existed. How do I know if mine is a click to run? I had troubles getting it installed and had to IM microsoft to have help and they had me download an installer from their site.

@erik: In her post above (#135105), Kirsty is referring to the “Click to Run” version of Office 2013 when she uses the abbreviation “CTR”.

You probably have the Click-to-Run version. See

Thanks! I did figure out it was a click to run (only by turning off auto updates and window asked if I would allow click to run to make changes). So Since I turned off auto updated within office, will office updates now show through windows update when I run that or do I just have to turn office auto updates back on when I get the all clear from you and turn back off after it updates?

Click to Run updates do not come through Windows Update. CTR has it’s own updating, and you will need to turn it back on when the time comes.
