You find Office update information here.
Windows updates are installed automatically on most Home devices running the Windows operating system. The automatic update function checks for updates periodically to download security and critical updates automatically.
Updates may also be distributed using update management services such as WSUS. Microsoft releases the updates on its download site as well.
Do the following to run a manual check for updates:
Below are resource pages with direct download links, if you prefer to download the updates to install them manually.
Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2
Last updates for 1909 (all versions) and 20H2
If hardware supports it, Windows 11 isn’t too bad an upgrade after your finish tweaking and remove the crap Microsoft thinks everybody should use but, wait until the first week of next month just in case there’s a bug in the updates.

Any further details about CVE-2022-29127 (BitLocker Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability).
https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/en-US/vulnerability/CVE-2022-29127
“A successful attacker could bypass the BitLocker Device Encryption feature on the system storage device. An attacker with physical access to a powered off system could exploit this vulnerability to gain access to encrypted data.”
No issues to report on two Windows 8.1 Pro systems.
After taking a Macrium image of the system, installed the Servicing Stack Update first (KB5014025) downloaded from the Microsoft Catalog. Then via Windows Update installed the Monthly Rollup (KB5014011) and Security and Quality Rollup for .NET Framework 3.5, 4.6.2, 4.7, 4.7.1, 4.7.2, 4.8 for Windows 8.1 for x64 (KB5013872).
No issues on Windows 7 ESU.
Windows, in it’s various versions, always seems to be carrying tons of “Remote Code Execution Vulnerability” bugs/patches.
I guess it’s true what they say about Windows: Backdoors are only found when people report them.
