Hi Steve,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A forum. I understand how frustrating it can be when updates don’t apply as expected. Here are some steps for troubleshoot:

Force Update via Command Line

You can manually trigger the update to Build 19119.20000 using the following steps:

Close all Office applications.
Open Command Prompt as Administrator.

Run this command:

   "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\ClickToRun\OfficeC2RClient.exe" /update user updatetoversion=16.0.19119.20000

Clear Update Cache (Optional)

If the update still doesn’t apply:

Press Window + R
Navigate to %localappdata%\Microsoft\Office\16.0\OfficeFileCache and delete the contents.
Then retry the update process.

Reinstall Office

If none of the above steps work:

Uninstall Office completely.
Reinstall from your Microsoft 365 account.
Rejoin the Insider Beta Channel during setup.

If the issue persists, please let me know. I’ll be happy to guide you further or escalate the issue if needed.

was able to "Force Update via Command Line"

When it completed, I checked my Office Account page to see if the update took. When I did, the version showed (Build 19119.20000). Then the update process restarted and rolled my loaded version back to (Build 19107.20000)???????

Hi Steve,

To provide you with the best support, you can contact Microsoft Support directly:

Go to Contact - Microsoft Support: Contact - Microsoft Support

In the search box, type "software version issues" and press Enter.

Scroll down and select the "Contact Support" or "Sign in to contact support" option. You can sign in using any other accessible email address you have.

For "Product and services", select Microsoft 365 and Office.

For "Category", select Manage my profile information.

You should then see the option to "Chat with a support agent in your web browser".

Currently I am only able to update to the current release via a "command line update." Every time I try the automatic update my version reverts to Version 2508 (Build 19107.20000) where classic Outlook does not function.

HUGE SUPRISE>>>

When I looked to see what version is actually running just now it said:

Microsoft® Outlook® for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2508 Build 16.0.19107.20000) 64-bit

And Classic Outlook is functioning.

Microsoft 365 reverted on its own from Version 2508 (Build 19127.20004) which I installed last week.

This comment is really all the time I have in the next few days to devote to this issue. I'll revisit it this weekend.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your additional information. I am still following up the question. In case you have any updates, please feel free to ask me.

I think I ma have found a clue...

"The latest version of Microsoft 365 and Office approved by your system admin is installed on your computer"

I'm guessing that when I did the original rollback to (Build 19107.20000), somehow, I marked it as "the latest approved version".

How do I change that setting back?

Hi Steve,
Please try these steps:

Open Command Prompt as Administrator

Run this command to remove the pinned version:

reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\office\16.0\common\officeupdate" /v updateversion /f

This removes the version lock and allows Office to update to the latest Insider build. For more detailed guidance, you can refer to Microsoft’s official deployment options and registry command instructions.

When I run the command,,,

C:\Windows\System32>reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\office\16.0\common\officeupdate" /v updateversion /f

It returns....

ERROR: The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value.

Hi Steve,

Please try to run this command with administrator:

reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\ClickToRun\Configuration"

If you see a value named VersionToUpdateTo, remove it:

reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\ClickToRun\Configuration" /v VersionToUpdateTo /f

Please also check your UpdateChannel and make sure UpdateChannelChanged is False. You can use this cmd to make sure you're in right channel:

reg add HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\office\16.0\common\officeupdate /v updatebranch /t REG_SZ /d BetaChannel /f

After all, using this to update:

"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\ClickToRun\OfficeC2RClient.exe" /update user

If the above not work, press Win + R and type:

%localappdata%\Microsoft\Office\16.0\OfficeFileCache

Delete all contents in that folder and try to update again.

Steve Mongeon 30

It seems to have worked.

The value VersionToUpdateTo does not exist in my config file. Instead, I have UpdateToVersion

I replaced the value in your command string...

reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\ClickToRun\Configuration" /v VersionToUpdateTo /f

It successfully deleted the line from my config file.

Also, when trying to run an update from the "Office Account" page, instead of this message...

"The latest version of Microsoft 365 and Office approved by your system admin is installed on your computer"

I am now getting this one...

"The latest version of Microsoft 365 and Office are installed on your computer"

I won't know for sure if it works until the next update drops. If it installs correctly, I'll mark this as an "Accepted Answer". If not, I will reach back out with the outcome.

For your perusal, I've attached before and after copies of my Configurations below.

Thank you for your assistance,

Steve

Hi Steve,

Thank you for sharing the details and the error screenshot. Your error can happen due to network connectivity problems, system permissions, or a corrupted Office installation. Please try to verify Internet Connection

Ensure you have a stable internet connection.

Temporarily disable VPN or proxy if in use.

Or else, please try to run this again. Open Command Prompt as Administrator and run:

"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\ClickToRun\OfficeC2RClient.exe" /update user

Try to Repair Office Installation in Control Panel → Programs → Microsoft 365 → Change. Select Quick Repair first. If the issue persists, try Online Repair. Disable antivirus/firewall during the update process, then re-enable afterward. And make sure you updated Windows and Restart.
