Update error code 30088-27 Office 2021 what to do to get corrected????

First, chalk up my Dell XPS laptop amongst those having this exact same problem. Why it is taking Microsoft so long to figure out the cause of the problem, and fix it, we are all wondering. This is starting to remind me of the "randomly moving desktop icons" problem that started a little over a year ago. Microsoft 'claimed' to be working on a fix...yet, over a year later, there is still no fix.

As for sending any sort of file to "Stefan", I am in complete agreement that this is NOT something I'd trust doing, or suggest anyone else do. While it is possible that he is (as he claims) "in contact with" the MS Office team, and while it is possible that he does have the ability to pass along the files to Microsoft, he has presented no factual proof of this. I am not trying to 'discredit' him in any way...but, at the same time, none of us personally knows him, none of us knows whether (or not) he is truly "in contact with" anyone at Microsoft, and no one has any guarantees he will do with the files what he claims. The best way to protect ourselves is to NOT send any files to an individual whom we don't know.

Just to throw this in the mix, I have 2 PCs, Win11 Pro (current updates) and both Office Pro 2021 Version 2406 (Build 17726.20160).

So, doing manual update check on desktop PC throws the Update error code 30088-27 BUT it works on my backup laptop. ???

I realize that waiting for MS fix (whenever) is really the best option at this point.

I agree with you about the wait for MS to fix this if they do. Let MS figure this mess out as they are the ones that did this. This could be a server problem on their end and they can only correct that. I am sure they have gotten notice about this but it would be nice if someone from MS would at least acknowledge this problem. I looked at the article in Bleeping Computer https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/microsoft-365-office-users-hit-by-wave-of-30088-27-update-errors/ mentioned above and they said some Moderator (whoever that could be) suggested reverting to the previous version and turn off updates but why revert and undo security fixes. I will turn off updates but I am not going to revert back. Why hasn't an "Official" MS moderator took the time and replied to this thread?

Respectfully,

Where is Microsoft???????

Hello all! Getting the same error code 30088-27 Office 2019. Current version I am on is Microsoft® Word 2019 MSO (Version 2406 Build 16.0.17726.20078) 64-bit . Will keep an eye on this thread to see if MS gives a solution which I very seriously doubt according to other bugs they have introduced lately and will not fix. I did get my cumulative updates and store update today with no problem. I also reset my network using settings and everything is fine. Troubleshooting network found no problems and my ISP carrier is having no problems. It has to be Office so I figure MS is trying to push us to Microsoft 365.

Respectfully,

Updated to v2406 build 17726.20160.

Issue still there.
