How to update Office 365 apps as local administrator if you don’t have an Office 365 account

  1. Open a command prompt with Administrator privileges.
  2. Type the following commands:
    a. cd “C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\ClickToRun”
    b. OfficeC2RClient.exe /changesetting Channel=Current
    c. OfficeC2RClient.exe /update user
  3. You will see the Office update app start and either install any update or confirm that you are up to date.
  4. There are other ways to achieve this via the Registry, the Microsoft 365 Admin Center, or the Office Deployment Tool as well.
