Microsoft has updated the process for removing Office, replacing old methods with the use of a built-in Windows tool — “Windows Help”. This solution integrates Microsoft 365 troubleshooting with a broader set of capabilities. In this article, we will explore in detail how to remove Microsoft Office using this new approach.
What has changed?
Previously, removing Office required a separate utility called Support and Recovery Assistant. Now, everything has become simpler: troubleshooting tools are integrated into the “Get Help” app, available on every Windows computer.
Some users also encounter an error when trying to remove Office via the Support and Recovery Assistant: “To enhance the support for Microsoft 365 customers and eliminate the requirement to download the Support and Recovery Assistant…”
How to Remove Microsoft Office Using “Windows Help”
