Hi All,

I'm running Office 2016 Standard - MSO (16.0.4266.1000) 32-bit on an HP Desktop Windows 10

For the last couple of weeks, whenever I startup Outlook, I get a Pop Up Message saying the Outlook Needs Updates and will not work unless these are installed... I click on the "Install Updates" button and am taken to a new window for Microsoft Updates... which says I am up to date ... Optional Updates visible are simply driver updates for chipsets etc...

I have also noticed when using Outlook that emails are not downloaded/shown quickly and often have to prompt a Send/Receive to encourage them to come through ...

Is it me ??

How can I get Office Updates for Office/outlook 2016 ??

Outlook | Windows | Classic Outlook for Windows | For business

    If two versions of Office are installed, you will see them listed under Apps & Features in Windows 10 Settings.

    Hi Keith, my name is Neil, and I'm an Outlook/Office user like you.

    Sorry you're having trouble trying to update Outlook.

    To update your Office applications, please follow these instructions:

    Open any Office program (Outlook, Word, Excel, etc...)

    Click on "File" > "Account" (or "Office Account" if you opened Outlook).

    Click on "Update Options" > "Update Now".

    Office will now check and install updates for all your Office applications, including Outlook.

    Once Office has finished checking and installing updates, you can close the "You're up to date!" window.

    I hope you find this information useful.

    Kindest regards,

    Neil

    Unfortunately, I have tried to update my Outlook 2016 (on my Dell with Core i5, 8th generation), but the system tells me I'm up to date. But my emails don't come.

    Was there an announcement on 14 June that folks like me would have to pay for an update ?

    Hi Keith,

    Oh Ok. I didn't mention that as you said you had checked optional updates and only driver updates for chipsets were there.

    That's great then! Really glad you're getting your updates now!

    I'm sure after they're all installed everything will work OK for you.

    Please do let me know if you need further help though, or have any other questions.

    Kindest regards,

    Neil

    Hi Neil

    Thank you very much for your input, I had already tried what you suggested…with no success. I have now gone into Windows Update again, and found that in Advanced Options the switch for “Look for other Microsoft Application updates” was … for some unknown reason … turned off 😱 I turned it on, reran the Check for Updates and lo and behold… hundreds of updates for Office and associated programmes have appeared…it’s working it’s way through them now to Download and Install. Hopefully this will solve my problem.

    Thanks again

    Keith 👍
