Hi,
Sorry for missing this thread as the tag prefix has changed from "me-cm-" to "mem-cm-".
From the description, we know that, for few computer, even there is no office 2013 installed, the office updates are still detected, downloaded, installed and failed. If there is any misunderstanding, please feel free to let me know.
For this issue, firstly, we may check Policyagent.log based on the Deployment Unique ID and then Scheduler.log and UpdatesDeployment.log.
In UpdatesDeployment.log, we may check if the job is detected. Other logs related: UpdatesHandler.log, UpdatesDeployment.log, UpdateStore.log
Hope the above information helps.
Alex Zhu
