I have Office 2019 Home & Student installed on my Dell 8930 desktop.  It  was installed in August.  I’m not clear how, or if it gets security updates.  I understand that it is a stand alone installation so Windows update does not have updates for it.  Is there a process where I can install security updates for this software?

I posted 2 replies yesterday but have no responses .  Can’t get monitor out of sleep mode. Can I shut down PC and reboot.  What will that do to the download process?

That partition is on the solid state drive as received from Dell.  I have not done anything to impact the drive.

I have determined that the monitor is in sleep mode by turning it off and then back on again . When I turned it on the sleep mode box was on briefly and then the screen went black again.  Need to know how to get it out of sleep mode .  Moving the mouse did not work.

I have tried the return key and pressing the mouse button, nothing happens.  The monitor is on.  I had a problem with this monitor when I bought it a few years ago.  It would not come out of sleep.  That’s why I set it to never sleep. I When I set up the new PC I set the monitor to never sleep.

What would you expect to happen if I used the lower button on the PC to shut it down?

I followed the suggestion to let the installs progress. This morning I selected resume downloads. A few Intel updates downloaded along with the 1909 cumulative update. Then the 2004 began to download. I watched it for a few minuets until it reached 46% .Then I did some other tasks via few minuets .When I next looked at my monitor the screen was black.  It has now been over 2 hours with no apparent activity.  I’m not familiar with the activities associated with these major updates, but it appears to me that something very wrong has happened.

Suggestions, recommendations??????  HELP!

I have attached a screen shot of the schedule settings.  By “revert” do you mean uninstalling the update?
