Well, that’s interesting as I even tried installing it separately. But, I really don’t care enough to explore the issue farther on my end. I’m only testing this out of curiosity and nothing more.

While I agree it’s not critical to be missing the auto update, I would consider it a bug because unless a user follows Blogs and support articles and downloads the update packages manually, they will not only be missing critical security updates, but since this is a Preview they will find that their builds expire after some time. While some enthusiasts like us would not be inconvenienced too much by this, I think Microsoft’s intent was to provide notifications of updates automatically so end users don’t have to worry about keeping up with Blogs, forums and support articles to find them. Since the auto update tool is working fine on my end, I’m not having any issues to report to MS. But if you or others don’t have it working, I’d urge you to send in some feedback. Just my two cents.

Microsoft obviously does not code sign their autoupdate installer. I don’t consider this a bug. Apple has there own ecosystem for such things and I’m sure that once the MS office apps are released, they will be in the app store. Meanwhile, they are still in very early beta stage. I don’t think that having to check manually for updates periodically is a critical issue.

If auto update isn’t being installed for some of you, I’d consider that to be a bug and it may be worth trying a reinstall. There are multiple instances when the installer asks for your administrator password. I’m wondering if maybe one of these is being accidentally closed by some users, or isn’t gaining focus for whatever reason. Meanwhile, you should be able to download the updates directly from Microsoft at the following link: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3048768 Best, Grant On Apr 17, 2015, at 12:08 PM, Barry Hadder <bhad...@gmail.com> wrote: Are you using a Mac or Windows?

Keep the CONTROL and OPTION keys held down and arrow right to the help menu, then arrow down and the “check for updates” option should be the last item in the menu. With CONTROL and OPTION still held down, press the SPACEBAR to activate this menu item. If you still aren’t seeing it, can you describe the contents of the help menu on your computer? It definitely should be there. Grant On Apr 17, 2015, at 10:58 AM, Andrew Lamanche <ioani...@me.com> wrote: I'm afraid that the "update" link is not in the Apple menu either.
