Could've been some bundleware they installed with something else they intended to install. Did they actually have Office 365 and got the Office 2013 local apps that were available back then and now they let Office 365 upgrade to the newest versions (2016) of the local Office apps? The point of subscribing to Office 365 is that it will include the latest Office apps. What you say is possible, but not likely, I think. These were corporate customers, not individual home users. I didn't see their process, because they called only after the damage was done, but I and my colleagues have taken enough trouble reports of this class that I think the phenomenon must be real. No other way for it to happen (i.e. completely likely) Office 2013 doesn't have the code to do it, WU doesn't deploy an upgrade update for Office, 2016 is available as stand-alone in full version ware(Msi) or as part of Office 365(Click to Run) The only routes - Office 365 (2013) was installed and updated to Office 2016 per the subscription agreement - Office 2013 MSI was installed and and end-user/IT admin installed 2016 CTR side by side - Office 2013 MSI was installed and Office 2016 MSI was purchased and installed. -- ...winston msft mvp windows experience |

Windows 7 SP1 Rollup Update
| Too bad the anti-virus vendors haven't gotten off their lazy asses to
| categorize the non-Windows 7/8 updates on Windows 7/8 (i.e., all updates | that have only to do with migration to Windows 10) as malware. | I agree with you, but I think they are afraid of Microsoft's deep | pockets. Even though a suit by Microsoft against an anti-virus vendor | who called GWX and Windows 10 would probably fail, the legal fees | could bankrupt the smaller company. | That, and the fact that most people would think the AV company was nuts. Even most people here don't regard the telemetry updates as spyware. And most people here are still allowing Windows Update. People have become so passive that only a complete, overnight transformation of their computer, into something they don't recognize, warrants their attention. And that's among the tech-literate crowd. The discussion here sounds like what one hears with Facebook changes: "Facebook had better be careful because if I ever get 10 times more angry than I am now... well... I might just stop using the Facebook account that I don't pay for!" (Of course they won't, because their whole life revolves around Facebook contacts, and Emperor Zuck knows that.) Most of the general public would probably just be very confused by AV software calling Windows Update malware. |
