On macOS 10.14 Mojave and later, you may see a privacy prompt when running msupdate for the first time. Msupdate works by using native XPC to communicate with the MAU daemon. You can download the latest version of MAU from this link. The tool is primarily designed to give IT administrators more precise control over when updates are applied. The msupdate tool can be used to start the update process for Microsoft applications produced for Mac, such as Office. Microsoft AutoUpdate (MAU) version 3.18 and later includes the msupdate command-line tool.
