Do you use macOS and Microsoft applications? With this utility you can put an end to the problems in the updates

Microsoft recently decided to update its Chromium-based Microsoft Edge browser. In its three channels, the new browser acquired a new icon that wanted to break with the previous symbol, a model excessively tied to what Internet Explorer represented. The new Edge wants to break with the past and the last link was the logo.

Edge, like a good number of Microsoft applications are available for other operating systems and macOS is one of them. And there may be problems when updating, something that I have suffered with the versions of Edge in its three channels.They were not updated either manually or automatically, so there is no choice but to use an official Microsoft app that, as happened to me, can help you in the process.

Microsoft AutoUpdate

The utility is called Microsoft AutoUpdate and it is responsible for analyzing all the Microsoft applications installed on your Mac to download updates in case they present problems .

To exemplify the process, we will use Edge as a model, with the Canary version, which offers update problems and does not detect if there are any update available. The app offers access to a support page to see where the problem is and at the end it offers as an option the possibility of getting Microsoft AutotUpdate.

We start the application once installed if necessary and spend a few seconds analyzing the Microsoft applications installed on our computer. In my case, the list includes the three versions of Edge and the Office applications.

Once analyzed, we can update all or each one of the applications collectively or individually, in the case that we are only interested update some of the applications that appear in the list.

The process will last more or less depending on our connection to the network and the number of applications to update and once completed, Without us having to do anything else, we will have all the latest Microsoft applications.

In addition, within the utility we have the option to keep applications updated automatically or three update modes: insider early mode , insider>"

Remember that Microsoft AutotUpdate is an official Microsoft application, so there is no risk when installing it on your computer .
