[German<\/a>]Update KB5002700 for Microsoft Office 2016 (MSI installation) released on April 8, 2025, crashes in Excel, Outlook and Word 2016. On April 10, 2025 Microsoft has released an out-of-band update KB5002623 to fix that crashed. On April 15, 2025, Microsoft also made the KB5002623 update for Office 2016 available in the WSUS.<\/p>\n

Review of the crashes in Office 2016<\/h2>\n

\"\"Microsoft released update KB5002700<\/a> update for Microsoft Office 2016 (MSI version) on April 8, 2025. This update closes a series of vulnerabilities (CVE-2025-29791<\/a>,\u00a0CVE-2025-29792<\/a>,\u00a0CVE-2025-29816<\/a>,\u00a0CVE-2025-27745<\/a>,\u00a0CVE-2025-27748<\/a>,\u00a0CVE-2025-27749<\/a>\u00a0und\u00a0CVE-2025-27752<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The installation of this security update resulted in crashes of Office 2016 applications\u00a0 like Excel, Outlook and Word. I reported on the problems with Outlook in the blog post Outlook 2016: Calendar access blocked after April 2025 update KB5002700<\/a>\u00a0and mentioned disabling weather integration as a workaround.<\/p>\n

In the blog post Word\/Excel 2016 crashing after April 2025 update KB5002700<\/a> crashes in Word 2016 and Excel 2016 were mentioned. There was a suspicion that a PDF plugin or communication with online services could be the cause.<\/p>\n

Update KB5002623 available in WSUS<\/h2>\n

On April 10, 2025, update KB5002623<\/a> for Microsoft Office 2016 (MSI installations) was released to fix these crash issues (see OOffice 2016 update KB5002623 fixes crashes in Excel, Outlook, Word (April 10, 2025)<\/a>). However, this update was only available via direct download links from the support article KB5002623<\/a>. Not very manageable for larger Office 2016 MSI installations.<\/p>\n

In this German comment<\/a>, Oliver had asked whether the update would be made available for the WSUS in the near future. Microsoft had not announced anything about this. I therefore assumed that Microsoft would follow the usual line and only make the fixes from KB5002623<\/a> for Microsoft Office 2016 (MSI installations) available on Patchday in May 2025 via Windows Update and thus also for the WSUS.<\/p>\n

A download via the Microsoft Update Catalog for import into the WSUS (Windows Server Update Services) was also not available. However, Microsoft has now responded, as I have seen in various comments<\/a> from readers here on the blog. Update KB5002623<\/a> for Microsoft Office 2016 (MSI installations) should be available via WSUS since April 15, 2025.<\/p>\n

Questions about that update<\/h2>\n

Readers have asked whether it is necessary to install both Office 2016 updates on the clients – especially as some administrators had uninstalled the faulty update KB5002700<\/a> for Microsoft Office 2016 (MSI version) from April 8, 2025. As far as I know, both updates (KB5002700<\/a>, KB5002623<\/a>) need to be installed. Feedback from my German blog readers says that the order to install both updates doesn't matter.<\/p>\n
