To download and install Microsoft 365 updates on a Windows 10 PC, use either Office’s built‑in updater or Microsoft Update.
Method 1 – Update from within an Office app
- Open any Office app (for example, Word) and create a new document.
- Select File > Account.
- Under Product Information, select Update Options.
- Select Update Now.
- If Enable Updates appears instead of Update Now, select Enable Updates first, then select Update Options > Update Now again.
- When the "You're up to date!" message appears, close the window.
From the Update Options menu, it is also possible to Disable Updates or View Updates that were previously installed.
If updates are not working:
- Confirm the PC is connected to the internet.
- If Update Options is missing and only an About button appears, the installation may be a volume license or managed by an organization. In that case, use Microsoft Update or contact the organization’s help desk.
- To download an update manually, see Office Updates.
- If Office apps cannot be opened to run updates, try repairing Office.
Method 2 – Get Office updates through Microsoft Update on Windows 10
- Open Start > Settings > Update & Security.
- Select Advanced options.
- Under Update options, turn Receive updates for other Microsoft products when you update Windows On so Office updates are delivered with Windows Update.
