Mar 02, 2023ClientVersionToReport and VersionToReport not matching is expected. ClientVersion refers to the C2R service itself, while Version refers to the apps. Those are basically never the exact same and that's ok.
The fact that you found the "updatetargetversion" in the \policies\...\cloud\ means that the device has some information from servicing profiles set. Can you share the values from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\cloud\office\16.0\Common\officeupdate?

Hi Martin,
You are a genius.... updatetargetversion was the issue. Once I deleted the key and then ran OfficeC2RClient.exe /update user, the user stepped through the update process. Oddly that key returns after being updated, hopefully I don't have to manually fix this again.
Thank you for your assistance.

Thanks 🙂
Unfortunately, a returning targetversion will most likely trigger another downgrade in the future. Can you export the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\cloud\office\16.0\Common\officeupdate key and post the export here?
Are you using Servicing Profiles from the config.office.com portal and is the profile active or paused?
