Upcoming change to the release schedule for non-security updates

  • Artikel

We want to let you know about an important change coming to the release schedule for Office updates so that you can plan accordingly. Until now, both security and non-security updates have been released on the second Tuesday of each month. Starting in April, the non-security updates will be released in Microsoft Update and the Windows Server Update Service (WSUS) on the first Tuesday of the month, which is April 5 in this case. This will include all updates that have the Critical or Definition classification. Updates with the Security classification will continue to release on second Tuesday as usual.

This change applies only to the MSI version of Office. Office Click-To-Run (C2R) will release on second Tuesday.

    Does this apply to the Lync 2013 client as well, since it's considered part of Office 2013?

    MSRC Team posted a blog saying that Starting May 10, some security updates will not be available on Microsoft Download Center. Does this include Office security patches?

      The most recent release of an update for an Office MSI app, such as Outlook 2013, contains all of the fixes that were in SP1 plus all of the fixes that have been added since SP1. So you only need to install the most recent month's release to be up to date.
