That’s a welcome change from the past installation system which gave only 32-bit Office with other options (64-bit, Insiders, other languages etc) all tucked away where most people could not find them. Here’s what we’re seeing with ’32-bit English’ shown and an ‘Other options’ link easily seen.

The current default is still 32-bit (as at 11 January) but the install choice has been updated to make the 32 vs 64 bit option more explicit than in the past.

We checked the current Office 365 download pages for Home/Personal/University. That page applies to “ Office 2019 Office 2016 Office for business Office 365 Admin Office 365 for home Office 365 Small Business Office 365 Small Business Admin” – we’ve highlighted some that are relevant to Office 365 consumers. The updated page says “ 64-bit version is automatically installed”. Microsoft’s web page about choosing Office 32-bit vs 64-bit has been quietly changed, seemingly in advance of the changeover to a 64-bit default. Office 365 Home / Personal / University too While the Office 365 Admin statement seems to only apply to Office 365 ProPlus and Office 2019 for business customers it appears to also apply to Office 365 for consumers (Home, Personal, University).

Office for Mac has already been 64-bit for some time. While it’s not stated, this only applies to Office 365/2019 for Windows. Office 365 administrators received warning about this in the Office 365 Admin Centre – which isn’t a lot of help to regular users Even admins themselves might have not noticed the change (we’ve copied the Admin notice below).
Microsoft loves to say that their blogs are a way to openly communicate but the Office blogs are silent on this important choice.įor some reason Redmond thinks it’s better to hide the switch to 64-bit and hope no-one notices or complains. The situation is confusing because Microsoft has chosen NOT to openly talk about the change. Yet Microsoft has chosen to communicate this vital change very poorly and without proper clarity. An important change in the way Office is installed by default. Microsoft is giving little warning of the change despite the compatibility risks to customers.

What do I need to do to be able to completely rid a machine of Office 365 so a normal office deployment reinstall is possible? This is for Windows 10 圆4 of course, not Mac. It's just the current channel, 圆4, enterprise 365 pro. For the office deployment config file, it's as generic as you can get. If there's a new version of Office in the future that requires uninstalling Office 365, that might be another scenario where some residual Office 365 pieces have this effect. Are there some registry settings that need to be tweaked for that? If not, in a scenario where Office 365 would be reinstalled for some reason, it means I'm better off just reimaging the machine entirely. There's some residual settings till present that are interfering with with a second install (following an uninstall, restart, new/second install). So I'm thinking just uninstalling Office 365 and Teams Machine-Wide Installer in Programs and Features isn't good enough. No problems on a "pure" Windows 10 machine though. No sign of Teams at all, even after restarting a couple times and signing in. In all cases, Teams Machine-Wide Installer never showed up. For the errors a couple times Office 365 installed normally, but sometimes it just didn't install. Testing on a "pure" machine worked as expected. Testing was useless on that machine however. I assumed uninstalling it would make it like Office 365 was not there, enough to test some deployment options. But if I uninstall and then reinstall that doesn't always work. I noticed recently that an install on a "pure" Windows 10 machine that's never had Office 365 works fine, like normal. I'm using the office deployment method for Office 365, including Teams. Why? What's left over from the original install, and how can I remove that? If I uninstall Office 365 on a test machine and then reinstall it, not everything reinstalls.
