Beware of Office 2010 Updates!

You should be able to hide it in Windows/Microsoft Update so it doesn't install again.
I assume you've got automatic updating switched on.
I would recommend that you switch it off, and configure it just to prompt you when updates are available, not actually install them!
IMO it's important to keep control now of exactly what is updated on your machine.
:)

Thanks a million Dave! I just switched off the automatic updates, hopefully it will be the end of that 

All the best,

KB4461614 now replaced by KB4462157.
Same problem, but different error message!

"winword.exe - Entry Point Not Found : The procedure entry point EnumCalendarInfoExEx could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll."

:angry:

Actually, it looks as if KB4462157 hasn't replaced KB4461614.
Although when I first installed KB4462157, KB4461614 seemed to vanish from my hidden updates list on MS Update as I expected, it then came back again and still said I'd hidden an important update.
I noticed on the KB4462157 KB page that it says "Fix: After KB 4461614 is applied, Access 2010 and Excel 2010 stop working."
I therefore tried reinstalling both of them, but the problem was still there, they give different error messages, and you get the KB4462157 one until you uninstall it, and it's then replaced by the original KB4461614 error message.
Both updates do replace MSO.DLL it appears, but I guess they're just two different versions which are both incompatible with XP in different ways!
Strange that having KB4462157 installed doesn't seem to override KB4461614 though.
:dubbio:

Maybe they think that nobody uses Office 2010 on POSReady 2009 and regular XP users are extinct?

They would know how many XP systems are in operational condition due to Windows Update polling, since the client reports a limited software inventory such as version of Windows, Office, etc. And you can be certain that they record and use that data. They just wouldn't know about the XP systems that never hit Windows Update or the internet.

New one today: KB4462172

Quote

This update makes improvements to enable the new Japanese era when it is available.

Note To enable these improvements, you need to install KB4462187, KB4462157 and KB4461579 together with this update.

File Oart.dll was updated.

Seems harmless, albeit probably pointless since KB4462157 can't be installed on XP.

Yes, I got those three.
All installed OK, but whether they are doing what they should without the latest MSO.DLL installed I don't know.
I'm still hoping the XP non-compatibility problem will be addressed on Patch Tuesday next week, but I'm not holding my breath!
:(

Also KB4461614.
KB3115314 was replaced anyway I think.
KB4462157 and KB4461614 are the only two I have now kept uninstalled and hidden.
All the others seem to be OK.
:yes:
