This article describes update 4011573 for Microsoft Project 2016 that was released on December 5, 2017. This update has a prerequisite.
Be aware that the update in the Microsoft Download Center applies to the Microsoft Installer (.msi)-based edition of Office 2016. It doesn't apply to the Office 2016 Click-to-Run editions, such as Microsoft Office 365 Home. (How to determine?)
Improvements and fixes
This update fixes the following issues:
- In the Chinese version, Project 2016 crashes when you open the Change Work Time dialog and scroll the calendar to date between 1995 and 2011.
- When system events such as Group Policy updates are applied, Project 2016 may flicker.
-
When visual reports are generated from the context of a master project, the results are inconsistent and may fail completely in certain cases. For example, if you select the Earned Value Over Time Report chart, you may find that not all the costs from the sub projects are included in the pivot chart, and you may receive the following error message when you create a visual report:
An unknown error has occurred. An error occurred and the requested action could not be completed at this time.
- Consider the following scenario:
- You open a project from Project Server.
- You save the project by using the Save for Sharing functionality.
- You delete data from the project. For example, you delete an assignment on a task.
- You save the project back to the server.
In this situation, you may find that there is still data for the deleted element in reporting database. For instance, you still see actual work in the project.
