Microsoft heeft als onderdeel van zijn december beveiligingsupdate MS15-131 ook Office 2016 voor Mac voorzien van een update. Office 2016 voor Mac bevat naast Word, PowerPoint, Excel en Outlook ook het notitieprogramma OneNote. De update van het kantoorpakket voor OS X, die het versienummer naar 15.19.1 optilt, wordt in losse downloads per module aangeboden, die in grootte variëren van 393 tot 925MB. Deze update wordt overigens ook via de Microsoft AutoUpdate aangeboden en in dat geval kan de download kleiner zijn. De veranderingen in deze uitgave worden als volgt vermeld in KB3134241:
