Microsoft Powerpoint forms part of the Office suite of software. The program has to be updated periodically to ensure that they continue working and fix any bugs or issues that users may be experiencing. 

You can turn on automatic updates so that your Office products update whenever Windows updates from the ‘Systems and Security’ panel. However, if you prefer to update your programs manually, here’s how to do it.

  1. Launch Powerpoint
