Unless you are a masochist you shouldn’t be updating any Windows machine today. The only updates seems to be the typically Window Defender stuff, .Net updates and a Flash update for IE and Edge. Y’all are too smart to be using that garbage anyway 😉
Office Updates are available. See here to update from within Office:

Stupid, antisocial, and unhealthy
“A decade ago, smart devices promised to change the way we think and interact, and they have – but not by making us smarter…The lesson we’re slowly beginning to learn, though, is that they’re not a harmless vice. Used the way we currently use them, smartphones keep us from being our best selves.”
I am amazed at the ubiquity of constant cell phone use. I watch people on the road texting, speed fluctuating, drifting into to other lanes. I watch groups of young people at a table, all on their phones, no one talking. I watch children on phones and tablets, oblivious to the world around them.
Sad. Truly sad.
