why Office 365 uninstalled by itself after some times?

Post by siamandm »

Dear all,
we have a license for installing office 365 based on users ... so we installed the office 365 by singing in to office.com then installing form their.
but the strange thing is : some users complain that they can find any app of the office after some days ..
when i checked their computer i found that the office is completely removed fro unknown reason
so my question is:
how to find out why the office and how has been removed?
i tired to find it out form windows event viewer but i couldn't find something or i was not looking at the right place for it.


regards

Do you mean that Office 365 is not listed any more in Settings > Apps or in the Programs and Features control panel?
Best wishes,
Hans

That is strange. I have no idea what causes it, or how to prevent it. The users will have to reinstall Office 365 and hope that it doesn't happen again...
Best wishes,
Hans
