  • Jan 16, 2018  “Microsoft AU Daemon.app” is an auto-updater for Microsoft office 2016. This program just updates office to the latest version. If you wish to turn off this auto updater follow the steps below.
  • Mar 19, 2020  Microsoft AutoUpdate provides updates to various Mac products from Microsoft. Therefore, you might receive a notification to update Microsoft AutoUpdate even if you're not running Office for Mac. MAU AU Daemon is now called Microsoft Update Assistant. Fixed an issue where focus was stolen from the foreground app when running the 'msupdate.

Collecting diagnostic information

Oct 11, 2006 The AU daemon is associated with the Microsoft AutoUpdate application. That application can be set to check for updates to MS Office at particular intervals. It does so by way of that daemon.' Jan 03, 2008  The application that does the checking and updating is Microsoft AutoUpdate.app, and it's usually found at the top level of the Applications folder. Oddly, it looks like setting it to 'Manually' doesn't remove that daemon from the Login Items list, which is mildly annoying. Then again, it is Microsoft. 2) What is the Microsoft Database Daemon? The Microsoft Database Daemon allows the Reminder to work even if all MS applications are closed. The daemon is actually used all the time to access the Database. Even Word uses it. This is why you need to Quit Notifications and/or the Microsoft Database daemon when you install MS updates. It could also interfere with backup applications. Dec 12, 2017  Answer: A: That is the Microsoft Auto Updater. If you want to stop if from running automatically you can open Word (for example) and then select Check For Updates in the Help menu and change 'How would you like to check for updates' from automatically to manually. That is the Microsoft Auto Updater.
