May 2, 2017, update for Project 2016 (KB3191870)

This article describes update KB3191870 for Microsoft Project 2016, which was released on May 2, 2017. This update has a prerequisite.

Be aware that the update on the Microsoft Download Center applies to the Microsoft Installer (.msi)-based edition of Office 2016. It doesn't apply to the Office 2016 Click-to-Run editions, such as Microsoft Office 365 Home. (How to determine?)

This update fixes the following issues:

• After you change the Physical % Complete value on a subtask, the value is not calculated as expected on the related summary task.

• When you open a project from a SharePoint list, Project 2016 may crash as the synchronization process begins.

• When you print review project data, you may find the text that is wrapping in a cell appears differently than it does in the view. For example, text may be missing or the location where the text breaks from one line to the next is different.

• If a cost and a work resource are assigned to the same task, you may not be able to change the task's status manager.

Prerequisite

To apply this update, you must have Microsoft Project 2016 installed.
