Hi everyone,

I’m working on a new image of Windows 8.1 X64. Initially, I installed Office 2010; but later, decided that I wanted to use Office 2013 instead. I uninstalled  Office 2010 via Programs and features and installed 2013; However, when I check for updates, Windows insists on offering updates for 2010 even though it no longer exists on the system. How can I prevent this from happening? I have tried insuring that all files and folders related to 2010 have been removed. I removed the entry for Office 2010 from HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall (odd that this was even still there after an apparently successful uninstall using Programs and features?) I also removed the SoftwareDistribution folder and let the update service rebuild it. However, updates for Office 2010 still keep appearing. I could simply hide the 2010  updates which are currently being offered, but I fear that  new ones will show up as soon as they become available and confuse my users.

Thanks for any suggestions,
