For Office 2007 File Validation IssueGo to C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download

Find OFV.CAB and extract it.

You'll have OFV.msi

Install it and hit Retry on Windows Update.

    Hi LA16,

    I don't think that would be a solution here.  Office 2007 is still copyrighted material and needs activation.  I'm not sure what happens after the 30 activation window if the EULA is not accepted because it has never gone that far for me.  The failure or delay with this "update" is not a bug or glitch but more of a bandwidth, ping, lag, packet loss, etc. with the internet or Microsoft's (MS) validation servers.  And I would imagine that with all the teleworking going on now, MS chose to reduce validation sever bandwidth so that their Office 365 products function efficiently.

    Hi, I am Nigel, Independent Advisor here to work with you on this issue.

    The windows update error 0x80240023 relates to WU_E_EULAS_DECLINED.

    The license terms for all updates were declined

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deploy...

    Please can you confirm that both Windows and Microsoft Office are fully activated.

    For Windows 10

    Click the Start button, then click the Settings button to open settings.

    On Windows Settings, click Update & Security.

    On the left side, click Troubleshoot, then click Windows Update on the tab that will appear on the right side.

    This will run the trouble-shooter and apply fix to the problem.

    After this is done, run Windows Update again to see if the problem was fixed.

    Hope this helps!

    Feel free to ask back any questions and let me know how it goes.

    The trouble shooter won't find or fix this issue.  And you need to install the update for the validation/activation tool to work.  The update will work, just takes a little time (about a day) and you have 30 days for it to work and activate it.  I just ignored it, Office 2007 worked fine and it installed the update and loaded the EULA just fine the next say.

    I started from a clean windows 10 ver 2004 install
