    I Don't use MS Office


    I don't use MS Office, (any version), for a number of good reasons. How do I stop the up-dates constantly trying to get me to install up-dates for an un-installed program. Thanks

    Hi briswin7, welcome to the Forum.

    How long ago did you uninstall Office & how did you uninstall it. Which version of Office was installed.

    This website might help you.

    I Don't use MS Office


    Because of numerous past problems I have NOT installed 'MS Office' on any of my recent computers.
    The last was purchased with Win 7 professional only.
    Therefore the reply suggesting that I somehow un-installed 'Office' is completely wrong.
    My objective is to stop my computer constantly reminding me to 'up-date' a program I don't have, (and don't want).
    Regards, to all

    The reason I was asking about an uninstalled version of Office is the reference to an uninstalled program in your first post.

    It would be most unusual for MS to supply you with updates for a program that you don't have or never have had on a computer.

    Because your system specs give very little information, I'm presuming that this is a store bought computer. If that is correct, your computer may of come with a Trial version of Office.

    If you are positive you don't have Microsoft Office installed; next time the update is offered by Windows 7 Updates just right tick on the update and select Hide/Ok.

    Actually, it isn't unusual. I got updates offered for MS Outlook all the time and I never had it (nor was there a trial offer since I built the computer).

    I would go ahead and download and install the updates anyway on the odd chance the updates affect something in Win 7 that Office uses. If the computer doesn't need the update, it won't install anyway.
