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

Additionally, this reactivates OneDrive, which is something a lot of people do NOT want.

Hi Panther6834,

Yeah, I don't want it and uninstalled OneDrive. Now, I just looked in Apps and, sure enough, OneDrive is back. I thought the uninstall would do the trick but, no, it came back after I was messing around with settings in order to get Office to Update.

Is there a way to get rid of OneDrive forever?

EDIT: Never mind. I found the setting in the Group Policy Editor

Options > Privacy> "Turn on all connected experiences" and "experiences that download online content" enable both radio buttons. Restart MSO. Close MSO. Run MSO repair with online option.

As pointed out, this is something that several others have already tried...sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. In other words, it's not a "reliable" solution. Additionally, this reactivates OneDrive, which is something a lot of people do NOT want. Personally, I prefer Google Drive, which is more easily accessible across multiple platforms, and via almost any device.

How about this? I found a few lines in my log files immediately after I tried to use the update function in Outlook and this was in one of the lines with an error:

"Failed to fetch MRO information from DMS"

????

I have noticed that recently upon starting any MSO app, I recieve a notification to restart MSO because privacy settings have changed.

I did not make or request this change. Perhaps this is Microsoft's way of initiating some sort of update.

As stated by others, the procedure I have used to fix my machines may not work in every case, but it is also possible that this technique didnt work before and may now work because of recent changes, as it has for me.

In any case it seems worth a retry,

I wonder if it is location and/or language related? I am using English Australian and, to state the bleeding obvious, I am in Australia.

Good thought but I, for one, am using US English and yet we both have the same issue.

I really think that one update simply broke something that involves how an update connection is made from within the program. It's clearly not a system-wide issue or we wouldn't be able to do an online repair (which downloads the latest update if necessary) or use the elevated command prompt.

I also wonder if the "fix" will involve some obscure registry entry that got messed up as a result of the update.
