Sharepoint Files is on Read Only Mode when opened with Office Desktop
hannes_egger I still had users on Home and Business 2019 but they didn't get any update. It just says up to date. May I know when did yours got updated?
RobertCant2255 Hi, I saw yesterday that there was again an update available when I clicked on any office application on file->account->update->update now. It was \ is available for 2016, 2019, 2021. My version is now 2208 build 15601.20538
That seems to be an older version, but it works again 🙂
- Our Admin just told me he activated the "Monthly Enterprise Channel" via gpo, so basically what we did was a downgrade and that's why it ok again
I've just resolved this issue for one of our clients.
I had to downgrade office 2021 to the previous build version using the below command after disabling automatic updates within office:
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\ClickToRun\officec2rclient.exe" /update user updatetoversion=16.0.xxxxx.yyyyy
(xxxxx.yyyyy = build version you require, so in my case it was 16026.20146)
User can now open documents and edit them as normal
