How to Disable the Automatic Updates for MS Office

1. Click the Windows 'Start' button and type 'Windows Update' in the search bar. Click on 'Windows Update' (it should be the first item listed).
2. Click 'Change Settings' located on the left hand column.
3. Click on the option list under 'Important Updates.' It will currently be set to 'Install Updates Automatically' but you can change this. There are a few options such as not downloading updates at all, or having the computer only download them automatically (but not install them without you choosing to do so). Pick the option that you feel most comfortable with; as long as you don't select the automatic install option you will be fine.
4. Click 'OK' to save the option.
