Microsoft Office Patchday (January 7, 2020)

[German]On January 7, 2020 (first Tuesday of the month. Office Patchday) Microsoft released a series of non-security updates for versions of Microsoft Office (this time only for Office 2016) that are still supported.

The updates apply to the installable MSI version of Office and are provided through Windows Update. Click-to-run packages receive updates through other channels. For this reason, Office 2019 no longer appears in the following list because only click-to-run installers are available there. Microsoft lists the updates on this page.
