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

So, can we conclude that there is some kind of problem with the 2406 - 17726.20126 version?

Microsoft ... are you listening? (Linn)

Sure looks that way, Pedro.

Well, it's not the first time that Microsoft has broken my machine and probably won't be the last.

I have the same issue with Office 2019. I followed the steps, tried repair, and uninstall- reinstall. After reinstalling, activation would not work!!! Would prompt for password, then load up a gray screen, and then loop back to login over and over with no access to Office 2019. Luckily, an earlier restore point with a 2 hour sysem restore got me access to Office 2019. Will wait for a fix which they had best come up with soon.

mschmieg et all,

The uninstall and reinstall NEVER worked for me. My apologies if I mislead you.

But, if it did for you, could you detail every step? I am installing directly from the M365 portal, so I have no access to a MSI package.

Regarding Online Repair, I tried both. No love.

I've done the uninstall and reinstall twice now - neither has solved the problem. After reinstalling from the MSI, the update works, but, after it reaches the current version, the update no longer works and it's back to where it started.

I also had no luck with the Online Repair; however, I suspect that, when a new version is released and the update does not work, the Online Repair will bring the software to the current version. I think that may well be the workaround until this issue is resolved.
