February 2025 Office non-Security updates have been released
Office non-Security updates have been released Tuesday, February 4, 2025. They are not included in the DEFCON-4 approval for the January 2025 patches. Unless you have a specific need to install them, you should wait until Susan Bradley (Patch Lady) approves them and any problems have been reported.
