"Updates Available" notification doesn't go away

Question

I keep having "Updates Available" notification pop up every time i open any Microsoft Office program including Outlook. 

After clicking on "Update now" button, i got this message.

But if I close and open it again, the "Updates Available" message still pops up. I would appreciate any solutions for this. Thank you!

OK, this evening clicking on the Update Now button actually downloads and installs a update. So I guess MS found a problem to fix.

Answer 2

Since the repair fails, you may have to perform a manual uninstall and then reinstall Office. However, if the update notifications are the only (other) problem, you may just as well ignore the prompts to update.

I have the same issue. When I run the Online Repair it fails with the screen shot below:

Try an online repair of Office; see https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Repair-an-Office-application-7821d4b6-7c1d-4205-aa0e-a6b40c5bb88b.

Hi Haty,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

Did you try clicking on update now, that pops up at the below the ribbon.

You may also refer to the section “Get updates manually” in the following article and check if it helps.
