microsoft office - Windows updates for non-existant updates


For a while I have been stuck with updates for Microsoft Office 2013 products that would always fail. I tried researching the error, but answers on the official microsoft forums were completely nonsensical boiler plate answers. With the release of Office 2016 preview I had both installed at that point. Eventually, deeming that 2016 was stable enough, I decided to uninstall 2013 to try and rid myself of these windows update failures.


Unfortunately, the updates are still trying to install themselves, and are continuing to stop me from installing security updates that I actually want.


Anyone have any ideas or experience with this issue?


*Note:
This issue seems very specific as I have not been able to find any resources on it.


Answer



Well unfortunately, the only way to rid myself of these update shenanigans was a clean install, which probably is completely undesired for most people. :\
