Office 2007 Validation Error "0x80240023"

Greetings,

I own Office 2007.  I realize that support is no longer provided for this version of office.  I am not interested in Office 365, and see no value in upgrading.  I paid for my license, and I would like to be able to continue working with it. 

I recently refreshed my Windows10 installation, and of course Office was one of the apps that did not persist.  When I try to do Windows Update, I receive error "0x80240023" because the download page is no longer valid.

How do I clear this error in Windows Update so that I can at least have the last patches available for my Office install?

Review the win update settings to remove the Office update, though it should not have been present in the first place.

You wont have any Office 2007 updates as they were removed from MS Site in late 2014 when 2007 went out of support, so your Office install will be as per that installed version file/cd date

    So I was able to find a work around for this problem. 

    To prevent the problem MS Office File Validation update (KB2501584) from being reinstalled by Windows Update, use the “Show or Hide Updates” troubleshooter to hide it. Window Update won’t install hidden drivers or updates.

    Download the troubleshooter from the Microsoft Download Center:   http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/2/2/f22d5fdb-59cd-4275-8c95-1be17bf70b21/wushowhide.diagcab

    When you click the download link, you're prompted to open or save wushowhide.diagcab. I would suggest saving it because it doesn't get "installed". Then you can run the tool and "Hide" the problem download. This allows all the other updates to proceed without error.

    We all know that Office 2007 is out of support life, but Windows 10 Update has been updating Office 2007 consistently up until version 2004 of Windows 10.  The 0x80240023 error seems to be related to KB2501584.  Other Office 2007 updates do download and install properly.

    So my question is: Is this a bug or is this intentional?
