How to update Microsoft 365 Apps for Enterprise (aka Office) on WVD?
I have built a custom image that was originally based on the "Windows 10 multi-session + Microsoft 365 Apps" image in the Azure gallery. As far as I can tell, the Office apps are installed on this im...
Check this registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\ClickToRun\Configuration\UpdatesEnabled
Enable it there and then check via a random Office application under Account> Update Options. You should be able to trigger an update that way.
Don't forget to change the regkey back before sysprepping.

Did changing the Registry Key to toggle Office 365 update work for you guys in your AVD Desktop Image Template HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\ClickToRun\Configuration\UpdatesEnabled
I tried it and it seemed to work. I wanted to see if there where any other issues doing it this way vs Creating a configuation.xml file from Office 365 Deplpyment tool.

David_Lafferty hi - how long do you leave the reg key on true for before office updates? Does it then update automatically? I’m looking at exactly this problem but automating it by PowerShell, but I can’t get an exe to launch remotely so looking at this method.
thanks

Sorry for the late response. I opened Word on the AVD Image Template and it allowed me to update Office. I chose "Update" and it started immediately. Then after im completed i put that registry key back to False. That way i have more control of when I want to update rather than some auto update or backend that im not aware of. If there is an easier way of doing this process kindly let me know Im open to anything that makes our life easier. Mattwestby
