Office 365 Update "Managed by the Administrator"

Solved

Hello everyone,

I would like to obtain the latest version of Office 365, but the update button in the account is disabled because "The system administrator manages updates" (probably via SCCM).

I would like to know if it is possible to force the installation by another means than reinstalling Office (which is long and tedious), by launching from the command line, modifying the registry, or even disabling SCCM, but in a reversible way in any case. As a clarification, I am the administrator of the machine...

If by any chance you have any basic documentation on this so-called "System Center Configuration Manager" or on system administration, I would be interested ^^

    After digging around, I finally found the key that resolves the issue: 
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\office\16.0\common\officeupdate]
    "officemgmtcom"=dword:00000001

    By setting it to 0, the update button for Office 365 is available again on the accounts screen. Otherwise, in the GPO, the option is found in the Office settings.

    If this ever helps someone...

      Hello
      It could be, yes, my company is considering migrating to 365 (well, there could still be quite a bit of water flowing under the bridge before that happens) but the info will stay in my memory and the post too :)
      Thank you for taking the time to post the solution.

      Thank you very much, the tip is helping me today to update Office as I had locked myself out by using the Office Deployment Tool for my fresh install...
      I was starting to regret traditional installations ;-)
      Thanks again for taking the time to share and thus save others some time!
