Hello,

I make use of Ms Word on a Windows 8.1 pc and of late Microsoft has found a way to shut it down or disable it. You see, I am one of those that use the hacked version of this software then block all automatic updates. It has worked for me for nearly two years now but of late Microsoft has started updates to the software and this new updates bypass all the blocks.

One moment you are using the software fine and the next, it tells you an update is available. Doesn't matter if you click it after a while, Ms Word will just ask you to input your product key and if you don't, they block the software. The only opinion left is to force remove it because you can't even uninstall it.

I have been hit by this problem 4 times in the last 2 months alone. It has become so much, once u install the software now, it takes them like 2 weeks to shut it down. I have tried everything from setting my internet connection to metered, to block internet access to the software with the Windows firewall. No show. Microsoft still finds a way to enter my pc. I just found out this morning that they deleted the firewall block on Ms Word which was why it has updated again.

Before you advise I turn off windows update and software update, that is what I do once I install the operating system.

I have searched online for ways to block ms word through registry but can't find it.

Don't know what to do again.

Plese, help.

I use Ms Office 2016
