https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/topic/january-17-2023-up... > This update is intended to help Microsoft identify the number of users running out-of-support (or soon to be out-of-support) versions of Office, including Office 2013, Office 2010, and Office 2007. This update will run one time silently without installing anything on the user's device. Sorry, how can this be interpreted in any way other than Microsoft pushing an update who's only purpose is to scan my computer to collect data for them? And Microsoft has 0 goodwill in this department after pushing updates that made ads start appearing in start menus. These aren't "fears as facts," it's pattern recognition. |

Given how little control you have over it, is it your computer?
