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

Same - still not working

I have to confess that I am a bit lost in the thread.

Besides my act of God, has anyone find anything that works that does not require go to a previous version and stop updates?

I've been following very closely and it appears as if it either works or it doesn't (obviously some users have a machine (or more) that works and another (or others) that do work - and no one can seem to figure out the difference or variation).

I find this particularly confounding because I have two identical systems, both with MS 365, and have changed NOTHING, either with respect to system settings or Office settings; updates just stopped working on the same day on both machines, throwing that 30088-27 error.

I was able to update to the latest version using the elevated command prompt but using the Update Now button results in the 30088-27 error.

Check your Office settings and make sure that the Options > General > Privacy Settings.. screen has the "All connected experiences" option enabled so that you can then enable the "Experiences that download online content" option. (These are the steps for my Office 2016 Professional Plus running on Windows 10.) This should allow you to access the online Help system.

That was the first thing I checked and it was selected.

I really never use the Help, but thought to check it after someone else had a problem here. On the other two machines that update properly, Help works fine. I'm wondering if there might be a correlation here.

As just one datapoint, Help works properly on my machines but Update does not.
