In my Win 10 install, the key shown does not exist. A search of the whole registry for ‘officeupdate’ turns up nothing.

Exactly. The article first talks about how you can disable these notifications, then ONLY goes on to show how you can disable or enable the automatic installation of updates. NOT ONE WORD about disabling NOTIFICATIONS as they promised. I would like to allow automatic download of updates, and be notified, but have them installed when I say so, NOT automatically. This option seems to have disappeared.

In reply to Tyler Vice. Change 16 to the correct number for office 2013 (15, 14, 13, its one of those. 16 is 2016)

So many sites say to go to that path in the registry… I have Office 2013 and there is no sign of it in my registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\policies\Microsoft\office\16.0\common\officeupdate

Any idea why it wouldn’t be showing up? I do have the MSI volume license version that won’t let me turn updates off in the options…I am the admin.
