Wait for the Gradual Update Rollout
Microsoft releases Click-to-Run updates gradually and may temporarily pause them if serious bugs are found.
Office updates are typically rolled out in stages, starting with a small percentage of users. Full availability can take about a week.
If Microsoft identifies a critical issue, such as bugs involving signatures or stationery, they may pause the release. Once the issue is resolved, the update will automatically install in the background.
Launch any Office 2019 application, such as Word, and navigate to File > Account.
Under the Product Information section, click on 'Update Options' and ensure that 'Enable Updates' is selected.
Leave automatic updates enabled. The Version 2310 update (or a patched newer build) will eventually download and install automatically when it is approved for your device.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does clicking 'Update Now' say I'm up to date when a new Office version is out?
Microsoft utilizes a staged rollout system for Office updates. If your device has not yet been selected for the current phase, or if the update was paused to address a known bug, the updater will correctly report that you are on the latest version available for your machine.
How long does it take for a staged Office update rollout to complete?
Full availability of a new Click-to-Run update typically takes about a week. However, if the development team identifies a critical issue during the initial rollout, the process may be significantly slowed down or paused altogether until a fix is implemented.
What is Click-to-Run in Office 2019?
Click-to-Run is Microsoft's streaming and virtualization technology used to deploy and update Office products. It automatically downloads and installs features and patches in the background, rather than requiring users to manually download traditional patch (MSI) files.
