JHKW1I don't understand either, I recently discovered that repair updates have been coming out for years. Here at the company where I work, most machines have this version of office.

Thanks. Hoping someone out there can help us understand whether best practice is to allow future updates or stand pat with 1000.
Not sure what you meant by 'momentarily'. As for me, I a) stopped Office updates, b) reverted to 1000 using steps/advice provided by others on this thread, and c) have been using 1000 and am keeping Office updates off until further notice. I've allowed and since have received Windows updates that have not negatively impacted my Office or anything else. So, at least so far, I'm not experiencing any symptoms of conflicts. Hope this helps!
