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  When I try to do Windows Update, I receive error "0x80240023" because the download page is no longer valid.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

    Microsoft is no longer downloading the Office Validation add-in tool. But you can get the stand-alone OFV Installer from various websites(be wary of virus). The file is ofv.exe. Install Office 2007 then before you run windows update install the ofv file then run win update and it will work perfectly. This is the site I found to download: Microsoft Office File Validation Add-In Download - Office File Validation is a security add-in for Office 2003 and 2007 (informer.com) In the middle of the page there isabutton that says: 'trusted Download 2.8mb', press that button. Don't press any other buttons on that site as it will give you Spyware. Good Luck, It worked for me.

    To be more specific, in Windows 10, Windows Update, Settings, Advanced Options, Update options, then turn Off "Receive updates for other Microsoft products when you update Windows"
