itman 1,789 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Suspect those Office 2007 updates are not legit: Quote Support for Office 2007 ended on October 10, 2017. All of your Office 2007 apps will continue to function. However, you could expose yourself to serious and potentially harmful security risks. Upgrade to a newer version of Office so you can stay up to date with all the latest features, patches, and security updates. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/end-of-support-for-office-2007-942272d3-bd72-4944-9f82-02ed307cf934 Question is why Eset Protect would even acknowledge them regardless if Office 2007 is installed or not.

Is Office 2017 installed? This could be a bug with Eset Protect properly detecting what Office ver. is installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Marcos 5,407 Posted March 1, 2023 Administrators Share Posted March 1, 2023 You can run this Powershell script to determine if there are any Windows updates available: $searcher = New-Object -ComObject Microsoft.Update.Searcher Write-Host "**********************************************************" Write-Host "*** IsInstalled=0" Write-Host "**********************************************************" $objSearchResult = $Searcher.Search("IsInstalled=0") foreach($objUpdate in $objSearchResult.Updates) { Write-Host ( " UpdateID : {" + $objUpdate.Identity.UpdateID + "}" ) Write-Host ( " RevisionNumber : " + $objUpdate.Identity.RevisionNumber ) Write-Host ( " InstallationBehavior : " + "CanRequestUserInput=" + $objUpdate.InstallationBehavior.CanRequestUserInput + ", Impact=" + $objUpdate.InstallationBehavior.Impact + ", RebootBehavior=" + $objUpdate.InstallationBehavior.RebootBehavior + ", RequiresNetworkConnectivity=" + $objUpdate.InstallationBehavior.RequiresNetworkConnectivity ) $objUpdate } Write-Host "**********************************************************" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerm007 0 Posted March 1, 2023 Author Share Posted March 1, 2023 ok but the fact that when i run windows update and it's not showing any 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,407 Posted March 1, 2023 Administrators Share Posted March 1, 2023 We merely query Windows for available updates, ie. do the very same what the above script does. It's a question for MS why it offers updates for Office 2007 that you don't have installed. For various types of optional updates, please refer to https://www.howtogeek.com/751889/should-you-install-windows-10s-optional-driver-updates.

Administrators Marcos 5,407 Posted March 1, 2023 Administrators Share Posted March 1, 2023 You may need to run the PowerShell console as an administrator or temporarily change executionpolicy to bypass for instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
