The same update applies to all corresponding editions of Microsoft Office 365, such as ProPlus and Business Retail. Microsoft uses update channels for Office 365 and releases a separate update for each version of a channel. Thus the download size depends on the number of the installed Office components and the number of the Office files to be updated.įor more information, see Deployment guide for Office 365 ProPlus. During the update process, the Office updater service (ClickToRunSvc) connects to the network location that stores the full image of the latest version of Office, and then downloads only the updates for the Office components that are installed in your environment. You can disable automatic updating or invoke updating manually in Office menu. By default, Click-to-Run products are updated automatically on client computers.

With Click-to-Run, you download a single executable program that lets you initiate Click-to-Run streaming and application start processes. You can start using the product while the rest of it is being downloaded in the background to a network or HTTP share (the default location is Microsoft CDN). When you open an application that is not yet downloaded and installed, Click-to-Run immediately downloads it from there and installs it to the client computer.

Also, if there's some feature missing, there's a way of providing your feedback and if there's a high demand, they will implement it.Microsoft Office 365 Click-to-Run products use virtualization and streaming Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) technology. But, that doesn't mean you have to use the product with all the features that comes right out of the box. Instead, creators have made it possible for the customer to disable features that they do not want. You may find features you like and features you don't like. So, to maintain a standard across the organization, the IT and HR departments can work collaboratively and upload a standardized photo, and then they can disable the ability change the photo by the user to avoid any conflicts.Īlthough it is true that software vendors create services with many features, specially cloud solutions such as Office 365, they do not make customized versions for individual customer. The photo you're uploading to your social media profile page may not be the most appropriate for your work environment. One reason as I see is, to maintain a standard across the organization.
