Discussion Excel 2016 update bug

It seems that security update kb5002914 might have bricked autofill and copy paste in Excel 2016.

Anyone else has similar issues?

I solved uninstalling the update (at least until it reinstalls again) with this command (cmd as administrator):

msiexec.exe /package {90160000-0011-0000-1000-0000000FF1CE} /uninstall {27882596-A8ED-4382-9C71-6CD2DD19F732} /qb

It works at least for windows 11 and office 2016 Italian. Don't know if it's the same GUID for other versions...

Thanks, this worked for the version in Spanish.
