Microsoft Office 2010 on an XP OS

I've been using  Office 2010 on an XP platform for several years and suddenly receive the following:

"The procedure entry point GetDateFormatEx could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll"

Office was loaded on my machine when I received it so I do not have the registration key.

My XP machine is too old to upgrade to a newer OS.

Can anyone give some insight?

How and where do you find the update. I can no longer open any Office programs. I just keep getting the above message(The procedure entry point.......). I put in the original Office CD and selected repair (not install) but it did not correct the problem.

Thanks, Jay

-Open 'Add or Remove programs' from Control Panel

-Check the show updates on the top of window

-Find Office 2010 in the list and find the KB4461522 and KB4462157 updates from its update and remove them.

-Restart the windows.

    For some reason the list I post above has somehow been corrupted and the site is stopping me listing the 5 updates that I had problems with. So much for community.

    MS has again slipped in an update that breaks the compatibility with XP.

    I would expect to see more problems with ongoing updates given that XP is an unsupported OS now.

    FYI. My list of bad MS Office 2010 updates I have so far encountered, uninstalled and blocked.

    (Dates shown are when I received the updates, not when MS released the updates.)

    Outlook 2010 KB4011273 (12/01/201****).

    Hi Rime3457

    The one that edreded a few posts up first reported has come back and killed my Office in XP a few times in the last few days.  KB4462174  I am not sure if that first came before or after Feb 1 2019. I think it is fairly recent.

    The previous ones have not reared their head by me for a few weeks now.

    I am keeping a list up to date here of ones I know about here at the bottom of this post:

    http://www.eileenslounge.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=31405&p=244958#p244958

    I am also making my own notes on updates that kill things, as I have a few machines with older Operating systems and older office versions. I dump them notes  here, as then anyone  else can see them if they want

    It is my experience that any date shown on your computer for an update  is not particularly accurate.

    You can get some info on most updates  if you copy the KBnumber here _1 , and then click _2  :
