KB5002914 security update EXCEL PROBLEM

Hello

This is community forum. You are not talking to Microsoft support/product team/engineer here, so unfortunately no one here knows when it is fixed.

You can use this website for updates.

At the same time, you can use the command to roll back to the last working version.

Assuming you are using LTSC/Standard/Pro Plus commercial license, please type cmd in the search on the taskbar. Don't press enter key yet. Instead, choose "run as administrator" to launch Command Prompt.

Then run this command. Make sure you copy the entire command, including the quotation mark at the beginning of the command.

For 2016

"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE16\Oarpmany.exe" /removereleaseinpatch "{90160000-0012-0000-1000-0000000FF1CE}" "{27882596-A8ED-4382-9C71-6CD2DD19F732}" "1033" "0" 

For 2019

"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\ClickToRun\OfficeC2RClient.exe" /update user updatetoversion=16.0.10417.20197

For 2021

"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\ClickToRun\OfficeC2RClient.exe" /update user updatetoversion=16.0.14334.20848

For 2024

"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\ClickToRun\OfficeC2RClient.exe" /update user updatetoversion=16.0.17932.20910

The command is to remove the latest update, which is causing this issue.

Okay, it works, thanks! But it's not a permanent fix; we're waiting for a fix from Microsoft.
