Three of the MS21-SEP patches for Office 2016 have ha their names normalised, but “MS21-SEP: Security Update for Microsoft Excel 2016 32-Bit Edition - Excel 2016 - KB5002003” still has the strange name format.

These 4 office patches for September show remediated without deploying.
Anyone else having this issue?

I am having similar problems with office patches. I just discovered it tonight. They installed fine last week, though.

I figured out the problem with the Office Updates not being relevant. Relevance 2 has “not (x64 of operating system OR ia64 of operating system)” which means it won’t be relevant on a 64 bit OS. Creating a custom copy and deleting that relevance statement will make the custom copy relevant again on 64 bit OS computers. It would be a lot of work to do this for all the office updates, so hopefully there is a fix coming.
