Symptoms

By default, installations of Microsoft Office are configured to automatically update your Office installation when new updates are made publicly available. However, if you examine the Account section of the backstage, you may see that updates are disabled or that the command to manage updates is disabled or hidden. For example, the following figure indicates that updates are disabled in the backstage.

Cause

Can i run microsoft access on a mac. This issue occurs if updates have been manually disable or are managed through Group Policy settings.

Resolution

We recommend that you keep automatic updating enabled for Office installations because this configuration allows Office to automatically update with the latest fixes and security features. To re-enable automatic updates for Office, follow the steps below.

• Manually configure automatic updates

  If your Office installation is not managed by Group Policy, you can manually re-enable automatic updates by following these steps. If you cannot follow these steps because the Update Options control is disabled or missing, your updates are being managed by Group Policy.

  1. Start any program.
  2. On the File tab, select Account.
     Note: In Outlook, select Office Account.
  3. On the right side, select Update Options, and then select Enable Updates.
  4. If you are asked whether you want to let Microsoft Office make changes to your computer, select Yes.

• Automatic updates managed by Group Policy

  Warning

  Follow the steps in this section carefully. Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Before you modify it, back up the registry for restoration in case problems occur.

  If you cannot follow the steps in the 'Manually configure automatic updates' section, this is because the Update Options control is disabled or missing due to a Group Policy. For example, the following figure shows the Update Options control when the Enable Updates option is hidden through a Group Policy:

  To examine the registry data that is associated with the Group Policy settings which control this feature, follow these steps:

  1. Start Registry Editor. To do this, take one of the following actions:
