Microsoft AutoUpdate

I'm having the same problem with MAU 4.47. I'm running Big Sure on an M1 iMac and the app keeps launching spontaneously and appearing in the dock. All very annoying. I've tried deleting and reinstalling. About to just uninstall permanently.

WTH! v4.41 opens & checks twice a day. No way to stop it. I have to manually quit the app! Previous versions never did this.

Runs for about 15 minutes, then stops. Is there any point to this app?

Rubbish software from MS. Crashes frequently and/or hangs computer for between 1 and 2 minutes... appalling software with little practical value when it can't update itself without crashing zero stars is realistic evaluation

Instead of fixing bugs and improving performance, Microsoft tend to introduce even more new problems in every update release. The last time I erroneously applied Office update and it ended up rendering random lines of blank space in the document and I'd to revert back to old version. So if you're really wanting to trust Microsoft, take my advise: make Time Machine backup before you do anything.

I was using my computer, working on something important...And all of a sudent, without even asking me, my computer shut down and started to do an update that lasted 45 minutes!!!! MAC is getting as worst as Microsoft! I'm looking in my preference to see if I can get the cuputer to ask before doing an update, and I can't find the proper way of doing it. I checked on google, and it looks like I don't have the same version of software or something, because I don't have "Software update/advance options" Grrr!

MacUpdate Desktop crashes on load in Mac Big Sur. Anyone know a fix?

In French please

It keeps Microsoft Office up to date, love it

Microsoft + AutoUpdate! That's like smoking in a TNT factory... what could possibly go wrong?

Recent versions fail to update if the apps are not on the topmost level of /applications. This is ridiculous.

I have been (I think) working with MS Support - after several revisions of this app it still does not complete updating - they have broken this beast and are not making any progress to get it operational again. It is now easier and certainly faster to go to the Office page and download the individual apps.

I don't need it anymore!

Nothing but update errors through build 4.19 which looks completely different from previous builds (like the image above). In the past AutoUpdate had never issues updating the Office 365 apps but now after downloading the update for each apps has finished installation starts and always fails (without any explanation of course). Annoying!

Way too many pop-ups!

Way, way too many pop-ups asking to turn on Microsoft auto updates. Very annoying.

The autoupdate that requires manual updating as the auto isn't auto!

MAU 4.6 was released on 11 December 2018. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/officeupdates/release-history-microsoft-autoupdate It's becomes clearer every week that MacUpdate's business model is being pretty well wrecked by the prevalence of automatic version checking and updating in most modern software titles. Time to move on.

Stop the bouncing and hijacking!
