More:

- Excel on iOS won’t let you open files without signing in. Then it loses the session and you have to sign in again.

- Microsoft AutoUpdate on macOS jumps in your face every day multiple times. No way to uninstall it.

At this point, I treat Microsoft as cancer. Avoid touching anything from them at all cost.

You can uninstall Microsoft AutoUpdate, just remove it from Library/LaunchAgents or Library/LaunchDaemons and delete everything associated with it. All of the MS Office apps still start fine without it.
