Microsoft 365 Apps is installed on the Monthly Enterprise Channel, but Semi-Annual Enterprise Channel updates are appearing in Software Center

Question

Boopathi S 4,036

Hello Team,

I have uninstalled Semi-Annual Enterprise Channel and installed Monthly Enterprise Channel

Then restarted the device

Opened Software center and it shows Semi-Annual Enterprise Channel updates instead of Monthly Enterprise Channel

Please let me know about what is to be done to get Monthly Enterprise Channel updates.

How did you uninstall? Depending on the method, remnants may still be left behind, especially in the registries. Also, WUA can take some runs to catch up. If you are certain that the installation is clean, run the C2R service once to sync up and then try running a update scan. If you still see the wrong channel then try rebuilding the software distribution repository on the devices in question.

Appwiz should do it, but have you tried the C2R installer with remove field in the xml? Also try rebuilding the software distribution cache to force a reset of the compliance state.
