The comments in the Microsoft blog post indicate that there is a way to control the update channel through group policy, which should help with broader deployment:
Note that I’m not only on the semi-annual channel Word has downgraded from Version 1801 Build 9001.2171 to Version 1708 Build 8431.2215. It asked me to save my work before it closed a couple applications, then it applied the updates: As mentioned in the Microsoft blog post, “If you are downgrading Channels from faster channel to slower one, say from Monthly to Semi-Annual, this may end up with larger than normal download of Office bits.” This says, “Downloading Office updates…You can keep using Office while we download in the background.” OfficeC2RClient.exe /changesetting Channel=Deferredįor some reason, just because I have a German proofing installed, I get update messages in German. To change to the semi-annual channel, from an administrative command prompt:Ĭd C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\ClickToRun
This Microsoft blog post has a bit more detail.īefore the update, in Word, under File > Account, I see this: Susan Bradley has a nice tip here on changing from monthly to semi-annual updates (which should be more stable but still get security updates). I installed Office 2016 from an MSI installer, but the updates apparently still happen via a Click-to-Run process.
