• Error message Microsoft Word "Word could not create the work file. Check the amount of disk space on your startup disk. »

  I have a MacBook Pro, retina 13inch OS X el Capitan Version 10.11.1 with 16 GB of memory. It's brand new and I have recently installed Microsoft Word/Powerpoint etc. a disc that I bought a few years to my previous MacBook. It seems to work very well, but whenever I want to open a word document a message comes up saying "Word could not create the work file. Check the amount of disk space on your startup disk '. However, once I click 'OK' this message disappears and my word file opens without a problem. I have 16 GB of memory on this laptop and it's new I have not reached anywhere near the maximum amount of storage so I'm puzzled as to what this message means. How can I avoid that this message popping up everytime I open Microsoft Word? Any help would be appreciated!

  This has nothing to do with memory - it's the SSD. Word tries to create a temporary file to use as a backup if the program crashes while you are working. First, run the Microsoft Update program to see if there are updates you have missed. Second, Microsoft currently supports only versions 2011 and 2016, so if yours is older, you should consider the upgrade. Thirdly, I suspect that the temporary file is not get created so that you have fewer cancellations (maybe any) and that if the program crashes you have to restore.

• Microsoft Update has a facility to check the history of updates, but it is not a facility in order to eliminate programs that were not updated, if the file has more than 6,000 entries?

  Microsoft Update offers an easy to install updates automatically, but a few times the process fails, leaving the record of the proceedings of breaking, this could happen for days even months and one day the process finished OK and also leaves the track of it, but she's not erase records of installation failures, because the file is a regular file , (this is not a data base), is there some facility to clean the file, he's great at more than 6,000 entries.

• I can't check the updates with Windows 7 computer

  I have a Windows 7 laptop.  When I check the updates, I get error code 80072F8F.  No matter what I do to update the date and time, it may not always check the updates.  The last successful update was on September 19.  I tried to ask a person to Microsoft through online help.  She had me try all sorts of things during the past month without result.  Finally, she transferred my problem to his supervisor, who told me that I had to completely reinstall Windows.  I don't have a disc of Windows 7 because it is preinstalled on my laptop.  She then told me that she would transfer my problem to a COMPUTER technician who would call me.  No one has called.  I have sent to let her know I had not heard anything, and in response I received an automated email stating that my problem has been resolved and that my case has been closed.  Someone please help! My computer has not had an update for 3 months!

  This isn't the problem, as I said in my question above.  It has nothing to do with the date or time.

  I just found an answer, tried and it works!

  PLEASE NOTE: The following instructions are specifically for ESET Smart Security or NOD32, however, I suspect other programs where content filtering of the SSL connections may cause this problem too.

  You run ESET/NOD32 Antivirus? If Yes and you have active SSL protocol filtering you add an exception

  (1) open the main window of ESET by clicking the ESET icon next to the clock system or by clicking Start > all programs > ESET > ESET Smart Security or ESET NOD32 Antivirus.

  2) press F5 on your keyboard to open the advanced configuration window.

  3) navigate to Antivirus and antispyware > protocol filtering > SSL. Click on "ask on sites not visited (exclusions can be set). Click OK.

  (4) check the Windows updates

  (5) a pop - up of ESET will inform you about an attempt to communicate over SSL. Click on exclude.

  (6) that excludes the verification by ESET update Windows. Exclusions are kept in the Antivirus and antispyware > protocol filtering > SSL > Certificates > excluded certificates.

  (7) to navigate back to the Antivirus and Antispyware > protocol filtering > SSL. Restore the SSL filtering to your previous setting mode, that is to select the option "Always scan SSL protocol".

  (8) check the option ' apply created exceptions based on certificates "is selected. Click Ok to close the advanced settings window.

  Alternatively, you can simply disable SSL filtering in step 3.

• Option to check the updates for other products (office) MS lack of parameters

  I asked about this in another thread (Windows Update crashes), but I want to start a new position of thought better. This problem is, I am sure, associated to the 12 April patch Tuesday update problems. In fact, I think that it was caused by something one of the technicians of MS has done in their attempt of pitiful to fix the mess created by MS. Before all this happened, I had to "give updates me for other Microsoft products when I update Windows" selected and was able to receive. After one of the technicians fooled with my computer, I noticed that this option is more obvious.

  To solve the problem of being able to check the updates of Windows, I installed KB3145739, as suggested in the above thread. That fixed the problem with the verification of these updates, but I can't find a solution to check the Office updates. This option is just gone. I tried the obvious fixes, but nothing works.

  I hope that someone might know what I can do as possible because the call from Microsoft is an absolute waste of time. They don't know what they are doing, nor do they even try to help. After just two hours of my life to keep with their magnificent support, I'm absolutely no help. It was as if I was talking to the air. Two different people could just not understand what I was talking about, any clarity, I explained. I'm so disgusted with Microsoft anymore - they don't really care about all the people who use their products. If anyone knows how I could check once more for the Office updates without having to uninstall and reinstall Office (don't even know if it would help)? Thank you.

  I just wanted to update. I finally found a solution and now have the opportunity to return to check the Office updates. I put the solution that I found in the thread (Windows Update crashes) when I initially asked on this subject.
