Every time after installing updates on the computer, problems occur
Although Microsoft tests updates before they are released with numerous computer configurations, you may experience problems after installing the updates. Typically, these problems are caused by other programs, unique configurations, or third-party drivers.
If you have installed updates and you have problems that are still documented on the computer and on the Microsoft help site, try uninstalling the updates through Programs and Features (Add or Remove Programs) in the Control Panel, read below about uninstalling.
- Temporarily disable all virus protection programs.
- Disable all programs running on your computer.

- Clear internet history and cache.
- If you run into problems after installing a driver update, we recommend that you try updating your drivers from your hardware manufacturer and not Microsoft.
- If the update is not critical, do not install updates immediately after they have been released. In some rare cases, Microsoft finds issues with updates after they are first released that can lead to problems with your computer.
If you still have problems after installing updates, we strongly recommend that you update the rest of your software, check for patches and any other software fixes.

As you know, the Russian version of Office 2016 for Windows was released the other day, so if you are an Office 365 subscriber (and you have a desire to try trial version), then you have the opportunity to upgrade to new version right now.
The upgrade process is fairly straightforward. We'll look at it briefly now. Note that starting an update from an already stopped Office 2013 application will not work. In addition, you can already buy a new one Office suite 2016 in the Microsoft online store both with and without a subscription. The prices will certainly crush you.
What do you think - is it worth updating? Considering the fact that you work with documents on Windows and in OS X, then it is unambiguous that you need to update (what is there, what is there - there will be one office). If you have Office 365 in your subscription and the 2013 version is installed, then this is even better - the settings will be saved, and to see the new product, and even hopefully without bugs, is a pleasure.
Update process
In order to complete the update process, you need to go to the official website https://products.office.com/ru-RU/ and go to your account to which you have registered a subscription.
When you visit the page account, on it you can see the button " Installation"By clicking on which the next page will appear, where you can start the installation process.
As a result, the new installer will be downloaded, and it will automatically download and install new ones. Office applications 2016, will replace all existing 2013 programs. Download and installation takes approximately 20-25 minutes.
From the link above, you can install a free new trial version of Office 2016 by going to the "Learn about what's new" section.
What's new in Office 2016?
Unfortunately, it is not possible to describe everything that appeared in Office 2016, since it was not yet possible to use this version in full, so if you want to know about everything that has appeared in Office 2016, you can go to the product website.
And for you, I will write a few points:
- More adequate functions of joint work on documents;
- Integration with Windows 10;
- Handwriting formulas (works great judging by the demos);
- Automatic data analysis (I did not understand this);
- Intelligent hints, search for definitions on the Internet, etc.
This material is addressed to all conservative comrades who still use MS Office 2007 and younger, but are timidly thinking about switching to a new, 2010 version.
Updating is very simple: download the distribution kit you need from the official Microsoft website or use installation disc if you have one.
It is not necessary to uninstall the existing 2007 package before installing 2010.
There are several versions for PC MS Office 2010, this is:
In addition, there is also a version for mobile devices under OS control Windows Phone- Office Mobile 2010, as well as for collaboration with documents in the “cloud” - Office 365 (Web Apps) and Office 2010 for Mac.
Almost all of these editions are available for purchase online and can be downloaded from the developer's official website. Exceptions to the above editions are Office Standard, Office Professional Plus (for corporate clients) and Office for Students (only for educational institutions). During the installation process, the downloadable editions of MS Office do not have to be activated. In this case, the so-called “grace period” for using the product will be 30 days. Quote:
Activation, grace period and limited functionality
To get access to all the features of the product, you need it activate... Microsoft Product Activation is a copyright protection technology that verifies the licensing of software products.
Activation This process verifies that the product key specified during installation is allowed to be used on the eligible computers under the license terms.
Grace period Without entering a valid product key, you can use the software for 30 days. This period is called the grace period. During the grace period, some features and programs may not be included with the product you purchased. After entering a valid product key, only the features and programs that were purchased will be present.
Reduced functionality mode After the grace period has expired, unless a valid product key is entered, the software product enters reduced functionality mode, similar to demo mode. In this mode, it is impossible to save changes in documents and create new documents, and other features can be disabled. Existing files or documents are not harmed while running in reduced functionality mode. After you enter your product key and complete activation, all features of the purchased software product will work.
To check the activation status of your MS Office 2010 office suite, open any of its components (for example Word or Excel), click the “File” menu and select the “Help” section:
If the program is activated with a legitimate key, the text you saw in the previous screenshot will be missing:
To check the activation status of MS Office 2007, the path is different (for example, Word): Menu - Options - Resources - Activate Microsoft Office:
Interesting observation: Windows Update, configured on my automatic search and the installation of updates, regarding the SP3 package for MS Office 2007, I was silent as a partisan until I downloaded and started its installation forcibly.
Further, in order not to indulge in lengthy descriptions of all the many aspects of using MS Office, I propose to go to the FAQ page, where everything is detailed and along the way I will give a couple more useful links that might come in handy:
Using the disk with the distribution kit, the current installation can be changed, removed, restored (in case of malfunctions in the operation of components) and activated:
By the way, regarding reactivation with a different key, there is a small trick:
For reference: open the registry editor and go to the branch:
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Office \ 14.0 \ Registration
We delete the entry in it DigitalProductID and Current, then we launch any office application, Office 2010 will immediately require you to enter a license number, enter, (the office distribution kit must be inserted into the drive), the office quickly configures a new number and that's it.
Naturally MS Office 2010 opens and edits all files created in previous office suites. Changing file associations is involved:
Well, a few snapshots of individual components of the 2010 version, for those who have not seen it yet.

In conclusion, it remains to say that in addition to the extended and improved functionality, MS Office 2010 began to work even faster. The opening of any document takes place in a split second. A worthy replacement for its predecessor in this regard, especially for a PC with a weak configuration.
Naturally, with this article with "funny pictures", I did not open America to anyone. The package has been released for a long time and only the laziest Chukchi it blogger has not written about it. I just talked (and, perhaps, with unnecessary details) about how you can update an existing installation of the office suite to the latest for today - the 2010th version.
