click-to-run migration

The click-to-run migration tag covers Microsoft’s transition away from the Microsoft Store installation type for Microsoft 365 Apps on Windows. Microsoft has already stopped feature updates for affected installations, and security updates are scheduled to end in December 2026. The apps will not stop opening immediately, but users whose Office account screen identifies the Microsoft Store installation should plan to move to Click-to-Run. This change reflects Microsoft’s current approach to servicing, managing, and delivering Microsoft 365, including its expanding cloud-connected and Copilot-era features. Coverage under this tag focuses on the support timeline and the practical implications for affected Office users.
