Feb 23, 2019  I have Office Home and Student installed on my Mac. Recently it's started nagging me with a 'Turn On Automatic Updates?' Prompt: 'Always install new features and updates for Microsoft apps'. The only two options given are 'Not Now' and 'Turn On'. If I click 'Not Now', it keeps coming back. I don't want automatic updates.

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

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.

Summary

This step-by-step article describes how to control the startup message about updating linked workbooks in Microsoft Office Excel.

If you update the links, Excel attempts to retrieve the latest data. If you don't update, Excel uses the previous information. You can click either Update or Don't Update.

By default, Excel displays this message. You can control if it appears, and if Excel updates the links manually or automatically. To make these changes, use the following methods.
