This page lists all of the released Cumulative Updates (CU) and Service Packs (SP) for Microsoft Project 2010, both Standard and Professional.

From February 2015 onwards all fixes are shipped in Public Updates. From March 2015 client updates available via Windows Update and Download Center, server updates only via Download Center.

They are listed in reverse date order - newest at the top. Each of these packages is cumulative, including all the previous fixes back to the last baseline (either the initial release or a Service Pack).   I have also recorded the version you will see in the File, Help, About Microsoft Project - then the Additional Version and Copyright Information (the version shown just above this link is the Office shared components version)

  • Consider the following scenario:
  • A team member submits a status update.
  • A status manager approves the update.
  • A project manager opens the project and verifies that the status update has been applied correctly to the project.
  • The project manager then saves the project.
  • In this situation, depending on the state of the project manager's local active cache, the updated version of the project may be overwritten by an older version of the project in the project manager's active cache. Therefore, the status updates that have been applied are lost.

This update also fixes the following issues:

  • After you remove all progress from a task, a leading split is added incorrectly to the task.
  • When a task is observed from the Gantt view, you may see an unexplained split, for example, at the end, and when you try to remove the split, it grows larger, and the task finish is now later than before.

April 2016

No client update for Project 2010 in April 2016.

  • Consider the following scenario:
  • You have a 1d task that has an assigned resource and the assignment has 8h of work on a single day.
  • You set the assignment contour to front-loaded. At this point, you now have two daily work segments of 6.67h and 1.33h.
  • You save the project as an XML file and reopen it.
  • In this situation, the work contour is lost and the opened assignment has a single work segment of 8h. In a related scenario, if you open an XML file, Project 2010 may crash and become unresponsive. This issue occurs after you install December 8, 2015, update for Project 2010 (KB3114419).

  • Consider the following:
  • When you open a project in Project Professional, you may find that local custom fields are copied from the enterprise global template into your project. The enterprise global should not have local custom fields in it, and these fields should not be copied to individual projects. This fix prevents these fields from getting into the Global template and then getting incorrectly copied into your project and overwriting local custom fields that you may have already defined.
  • You use Project 2010 to open a project file (.mpp) from a SharePoint document library.
  • You save the file to a nondefault file format such as .txt, csv, or xlsx.
  • You keep the MPP file open.
  • You make some changes to the project, and then save it.
  • You save the In this scenario, the changes that you made to the MPP file are not saved properly

14.0.7153.5000

  • If a subproject in a master project has a baseline date that is earlier than its start date while the master project does not have a baseline set for the task that represents the subproject, you may be unable to create a visual report for the master project in Project 2010. Instead, you receive the following error message:
  • An unknown error has occurred.
  • An error occurred and the requested action could not be completed at this time.
  • When you try to create a visual report on a master project that contains a project summary task, you receive the following error message if the project summary task does not have a matching baseline:
  • An error occurred and the requested action could not be completed at this time.
  • When you assign a resource to a task in the Task Information dialog box in Project 2010, the resource assignment unit may be incorrect if Resource Availability for that resource is changed.

14.0.7149.5000

  • When you roll up baseline values from selected tasks into all summary tasks, the time-phased baseline work and cost values may be incorrect. For example, suppose that over a series of days, the time-phased baseline work values on the summary task are 4h, 2h, 8h, 0h, and 2.5h. After you save the baseline, the values may change to something like 4h, 4.13h, 4.13h, 4.13h, and 4.13h.

14.0.7147.5000

  • When you merge the data of an .xml file into a project in Project 2010, levelling delays of all tasks are reset unexpectedly. Additionally, the total task work may be increased in some cases.
  • When you group on a field for some tasks in Project 2010, the Duration field value on the group summary row is incorrect. The duration should reflect the working time between the earliest and the latest dates on the tasks that are grouped. Instead, it is the task in the grouping that has the maximum duration.
  • When you change the Status Manager value for a task and publish the project in Project 2010, the changed value is not updated as expected within the reporting database.

  • Assume that you apply a custom date-based interactive filter to a view in a project in Project 2010,and then you switch to a different view. When you revert to the original view, the Date/Time Picker control that is associated with the interactive filter may not work.
  • Assume that you configure Project 2010 to load the complete subproject when you expand a subproject by using the CloseSubProjHandleAfterOpen registry key. Then, you save and close a master project after you do a recalculation. When you open the subproject again, the tasks in the subprojectmay be damaged. For example, tasks may be in the wrong location in the project, tasks that previously were non-summary tasks may now be summary tasks, or you may see a message that resembles the following:
  • No calculations can be performed now. There is a circular relationship in task <task name> of <project name>. The successors of this task refer back to this task or its predecessors, causing a circular reference.

  • Assume that you open and edit a project from Project Server in Project Professional 2010, and the Protected Actuals feature is enabled. When you sync the actual work, the timephased actual work may change. The Sync to Protected Actuals function may also run automatically when you save a project after you see the "Your action may result in actuals in this project becoming out of sync with the actuals updated from timesheets" message.
  • Consider the following scenario:
  • You have a project file that contains more than two enterprise resources.
  • You open the project file in Project Professional 2010.

  • Views, tables, filters and groups added to the Enterprise Global do not properly save the Show in Menu option and therefore the property is always enabled.
  • When Project is running in the background, the Auto Save feature causes the processor to be fully allocated.
  • When you open a read-only project from Project Server 2010 in Project Professional 2010, removing a deliverable from a task deletes and saves it from the deliverables SharePoint list, which is unexpected.
  • When you try to print a project that contains grouping in Project 2010, Project may crash.
  • Assume that you have an MPP file that is created by using the Project server Save for Sharing feature and you are now saving it back to the server. In this case, the status manager property on each task and the project owner may change unexpectedly to be the person who is saving the Save for Sharing MPP file to the server.

  • Project 2010 may crash when you open a project that contains a macro.
  • You run a macro that sets the duration of a custom duration field for a task in a project in Project 2010. When you save and then reopen the project, you receive the following error message:
  • Invalid Duration
  • This is not a valid duration, or is outside the range for this field.
  • Type a duration in the correct format: for example, 4 hours (or 4h), 12 days (or 12d), or 2ed for elapsed days.
  • When you use VBA Userforms and controls in Project 2010, you experience one of the following issues:

  • System error &H80070057 (-2147024809). The parameter is incorrect.
  • Project 2010 crashes.
  • You copy a group of tasks that have predecessor and successor relationships. When you paste the groups of tasks into a different part of the project, the relationships to the tasks outside the copied relationships are not preserved. For example, consider the following scenario:
  • You have three tasks in which the second task is linked to the first task in a finish to start (FS) relationship.
  • The third task is linked to the second in a FS relationship.
  • You paste the second task and third task into a different part of the project.
  • In this scenario, the relationship between the original first task and the new instance of the second task is lost. However, the relationship between the new instance of the second task and the third task is maintained.
  • You create a drawing object in a Gantt chart view for a project in Project 2010. When you undo a formatting change, the created draw object is deleted and cannot be recovered.
  • The CustomFieldValueListAdd method for Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) cannot write a value that is longer than 127 characters in Project 2010.
  • When you export a project as an Excel workbook in Project 2010, dates that appear as NA in Project 2010 appear as 1/0/1900 or 12:00 AM in the workbook. Then, when you import the workbook into Project 2010, the task progress information is incorrect, and constraints are ignored.
