Windows Update trying to update NON-EXISTENT Office 2013

[Kala1]

I updated my Windows 10 Pro to version 1703 (Creators Update). Since that Windows Update always tries to update Office 2013, which is NOT installed. (I use Office 2016). This really annoys me. Can anyone solve this problem?

Yes, i solved this by uninstalling 2016 and reinstalling 2013. i completely updated 2013 then uninstalled it. after that, i installed 2016 and its updates. this solved the problem. it's horrible that the actual upgrades dont work. i'll just have to remember this for the future. make sure to uninstall the previous version 1st.

that seems excessive

Here was my situation:
-I had Office 2013 installed
-I uninstalled it via "change or remove programs" in settings
-I installed Office 2016
-I saw updates for Office 2013 every time I looked for updates
Potential solution that has been working for a couple of days now:
-Run the "Easy Fix Tool" (Option 2) from the link above. This seems to remove just Office 2016
-Reboot
-Run the "Easy Fix Tool" again. This seems to remove Office 2013
-Reboot
-Reinstall Office 2016
Now when I look for updates I don't see any more updates for Office 2013.

seems removing both is only way to make WU realise the truth.
