fernman Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 (edited) Hi guys, I have signed up specifically to thank Dave H for his solution to the problem of Office 2010 modules not opening on XP after the latest Windows updates. Before I found this thread I was about to uninstall MS Office and replace it with OpenOffice instead (I might still do that!). Now that I have removed KB4461522 everything has returned to running as it should. Thanks once again, Dave, and I hope all others in the same predicament will find your fix.

Jim33 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Many thanks for the above posts. I tried to open Word today and got the message. I uninstalled the update and it now works again. You saved me so much time and worry. Long live XP!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathwiz Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Yep - looks like they pulled it. Hopefully a less "crashy" Office 2010 update will be forthcoming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapfenzieher Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 They've now pulled KB2863821 as well. Neither of the updates Dave cited is available on Microsoft Update Catalog anymore. Definitely interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDDesigns Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 FYI, both of the updates listed affected Server 2003 R2 Enterprise x64 terminal server with Office 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-H Posted November 20, 2018 Author Share Posted November 20, 2018 Good news all round! Microsoft Update is no longer warning me that I've hidden an important update, and KB4461522 has vanished from the hidden updates list. Now, should I uninstall KB2863821?

Dave-H Posted December 5, 2018 Author Share Posted December 5, 2018 (edited) It looks like KB4461579 which was offered today (along with KB4227172) is the replacement. Working fine thank goodness!

Mathwiz Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 New update available today: KB4461579: Quote This update makes some changes for the Japanese calendar in Office 2010 so that the new Japanese era name can be displayed correctly when a new era begins. Additional updates may be required for Office applications because of expected changes in the Japanese era. We will update this article as necessary. Blackwingcat, at least, will find it useful.
