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

Here's another:

Anyone else have a Reg entry like this?...

Hi Prius 04:

I don't think you need to be concerned about those registry entries. AFAIK those values just set the descriptors shown in Task Scheduler for the MS Office automatic update tasks.

I'm affected by the MS Office C2R 30088-27 update errors, and when I view those tasks in Task Scheduler I can see the Last Run Result for my update tasks are currently some generic 0x8007xxxx error code that provides no useful information (e.g., 800710E0 = "The operator or administrator has refused the request"). NOTE: a Last Run Result of 0x0 would mean the update task completed successfully.

Hi Great White North,

Just checked my task scheduler and, ditto; same thing. Thanks for the response.

I have also noticed this since the error message started with version 2406 (build 17726.20126). Here is my screenshot.

Sometimes the task for "Office Automatic Update 2.0" runs through without an error message (0x0) (like above), sometimes not and an error message appears. I have no clue or found a pattern why that happens this way.

But the conclusion is that trying to update Office manually always ends up in the error code 30088-27 (at least for me).

PS: Although the task "Office Automatic Update 2.0" runs through without an error, Office doesn't update to a newer version on its own.

Boy, that's kind of odd. I've looked through Task Scheduler and I always get, "The process terminated unexpectedly".
