My version of Office 2013 Pro installs as a “click-to-run” application in which all updates are done silently in the background. (I got the software via the Microsoft Home Use Program through my employer). I don’t see any of the Office updates in the Windows Update – all updates are supposed to be installed automatically in the background. I just removed and re-installed Office 2013 to try to avoid this – but I got the same click-to-run install. My version number is not up to date (yet).
I would much prefer to handle the updates via Windows updates so that I can control what gets installed – I track Woody’s and Susan’s suggestions about whether to install updates.
Does anyone know if it is possible to change this so that I install Office updates via Windows update?
(I’m running Win8.1U/64.)
