January 2, 2018, update for Office 2016 (KB4011625)

This article describes update 4011625 for Microsoft Office 2016 that was released on January 2, 2018. This update has a prerequisite.

Be aware that the update in 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 issue:

• After you click the Attach File option, the drop-down list of attachments in Outlook may display “Updating” and then disappear. After you install this update, the drop-down list will not disappear, and the attachments will be presented as expected.

This update also adds a registry key that enables authentication to continue even if the Online Content is disabled. You must manually add the following registry key to enable the feature:

• Location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\Identity\
• Type: DWORD
• Name: EnableAuthInOfflineMode
• Value: 1
