AutoUpdate for Mac is not working

If you are seeing the Update Error (updates are temporarily unavailable) message in Microsoft AutoUpdate in Mac OS on MAU v4.35.21051700, please try executing the below commands in a terminal and check. This solution was shared by Microsoft support (Thank you Keno) and it worked for me.

launchctl stop /Library/LaunchAgents/com.microsoft.update.agent.plist

launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchAgents/com.microsoft.update.agent.plist

launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/com.microsoft.update.agent.plist

You may see errors for some of the commands, especially the unload cmd, but thats fine.

After executing all the commands above open Microsoft AutoUpdate and click retry. Try clicking retry a few times, if it doesn't work the first time.

Hope this helps.
