A new Microsoft Office update KB5021751 is a one-time update that is primarily designed to detect and report on old installations of the Office software on users' machines. It does not provide any new features, does not improve the performance of Office, and does not address any security issues.



Microsoft has released a one-time update aimed at identifying the number of customers using unsupported versions of Office, including Office 2013, Office 2010, and Office 2007. According to the company's release notes, the update is designed to assist Microsoft in determining the number of users still utilizing these outdated versions of the software.

The update is designed to be silent, meaning that nothing will be installed on the user's device and there is no need to restart the machine. However, Microsoft's release notes do encourage users to update even if the software is no longer needed by them. The purpose of the data collected and how Microsoft intends to use it is currently unknown. It is possible that users may receive alerts in the future, indicating that their Office installations are no longer supported and encouraging them to upgrade.
