Microsoft Office Patchday (January 2, 2019)

[German]For the first Tuesday of the month (Office Patchday), Microsoft has released some non-security updates for Microsoft Office 2010, Office 2013, and Office 2016 on January 2, 2019.

The updates refer to the installable MSI version of Office and are shipped via Windows Update. Click-to-run packages receive updates through other channels. As a result, Office 2019 will no longer appear in the list below, where only click-to-run installers will be available.
