Office 2016 "Click to Run" Updates Fail on Metered Connections - Microsoft Community
the problem defined in locked thread:
most users seem succeed turning off "metered connection". may more complex that.
i can sure short, maybe 2 hours visit unmetered connection did not work me. folders 68 update files download , pile in
c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\clicktorun\updates
but never install.
yesterday got spend day on non-metered connection. watched resource monitor several hours while clicktorun downloaded hundreds of files. pretty stopped, showing 50 b/s continuously hour. experiment, enabled , started update orchestrator service windows update , windows update service, keep disabled because on metered connection waste data allowance. clicktorun jumped action, downloading hour of files (possibly same ones again?). there never "update successful" message, disgusting banner @ top of excel window gone! , old update folders deleted.
so maybe office clicktorun updates require conventional windows update mechanism details. saw clicktorun connections 5 different ip addresses , excel 2 more simultaneously, lot going on. , today, despite having user settings telemetry far off can them, office telemetry monopolized cpu , internet connection @ least 15 minutes.
if microsoft going insist on using internet bandwidth, seems owe rural users better connection options.
