Ben-neB if this is due to a policy, you can confirm by checking the following registry locations:

@BobClements I took another look at the registry and you were right - I found the other registry key containing settings for Office:

"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\cloud\office\16.0\Common\officeupdate"
(the default path is ...\Policies\Microsoft\office\16.0\...)

Thanks BobClements for pointing me into the right direction!
