You need to disable the auto update function in office and downgrade it to a lower version with this command:
For Office 2013 32bit
"%programfiles%\Microsoft Office 15\ClientX86\officec2rclient.exe" /update user updatetoversion=15.0.5571.1000
For Office 2013 64bit
"%programfiles%\Microsoft Office 15\ClientX64\officec2rclient.exe" /update user updatetoversion=15.0.5571.1000
For Office 2013 32bit
"%programfiles%\Microsoft Office 15\ClientX86\officec2rclient.exe" /update user updatetoversion=15.0.5571.1000
For Office 2013 64bit
"%programfiles%\Microsoft Office 15\ClientX64\officec2rclient.exe" /update user updatetoversion=15.0.5571.1000
- Perfect! It really works! I did exactly as you advised an it works! Thank you Xavio.
Hi there. I must say that ALL the installations I give support to, about 80, have the office update disabled. Even so, there is a WINDOWS 10 update, and W11 too, that changes that. You will see a yellow ribbon under the menu of, say, Word, situated the same manner other notifications show up, that compells the user tu accept the update.
