I have built a custom image that was originally based on the "Windows 10 multi-session + Microsoft 365 Apps" image in the Azure gallery. As far as I can tell, the Office apps are installed on this image using the settings specified in Install Office on a master VHD image - Azure | Microsoft Docs. One of those settings puts Office on the Monthly Enterprise channel, but it also disables updates. I understand that you don't want end users triggering the updates themselves, and maybe the typical sysadmin doesn't even want the updates getting installed during off-hours when nobody is logged in. But I can't figure out how to install the updates, period, even on a new image meant to replace the one in production. And I can't find this documented anywhere. I feel stupid. Help. :)

Was there ever a resolution to this issue. As you stated, it seems incredibly burdensome to have to hack the template/image and recreate hosts (especially when there remain some things that cannot be completed on the template, requiring domain join)
I have lots of unhappy users and do not look forward to all the work.

@David_Lafferty hi - how long do you leave the reg key on true for before office updates? Does it then update automatically? I’m looking at exactly this problem but automating it by PowerShell, but I can’t get an exe to launch remotely so looking at this method.
thanks
