I have been postponing updates since this originally happened. This morning when I started Excel, the dreaded update showed again.

I purchased my current program several years ago. I think it is the 2013 version. My question is Why after about 5-6 years without a single program update message is this all of a sudden happ... [ More ]

Thank You Greenfox

I was able to get Excel Back by Doing the Quick Repair in the Apps Settings and have paused updates until 7/30/2020.

Now I can get back to Work.

Your advice was greatly appreciated.

Everything was fine yesterday. Running Office 2016.

There has never been any notice of an update until today.

Now It tries to run an unwanted update and says it can't complete the Task and won't let me open any Files.

My Internet connection is slow right now so that might be the problem.

Anyone else been attacked by the Microsoft Mafia like this before.

Any Suggestions?
