microsoft is pushing out an executable to see if people are running older versions of office, without distinguishing it from an actual update, so if you have automatic updates on they're going to spy on you without consent. This is clearly not an update, nor anything to do with an update, its purely for microsoft's benefit and they're outright using windows update in a way that makes it so you can't trust windows update.
