Default Problems with Office 2024 after mandatory Win 11 update

Hi
I was obliged to do an update of Windows 11 Home, 24H2… and restart, but afterward there were problems.
When I load Word/Excel/Outlook
-it says “Activation Required: Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2019”, but I purchased Office 2024.
-it briefly says "Office 2024" then it says:


“Your new install of Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2019 has newer features than your current version”. Should be Office 2024.
I googled this message but found no help.
Beforehand I had Office 2019 which had bugs, and uninstalled it, and installed Office 2024 which was much better than 2019.
In simple language, how do I re-activate Office 2024, with no pesky warnings? Thanks.

btw, I have rebooted a second time, and did an Office Quick Repair from Control Panel, but I still get both errors.

As no one seems to be able to help, it seems I have no choice other to uninstall Office 2024 and reinstall, and hope that any future mandatory Windows 11 updates don't again corrupt my Office 2024.

I don't know if this worked, but, i had a message come up that said my trial was going to expire in one day so I needed to buy or put in my product key. So, I put in the product key for 2024 and now my apps show LTSC on start up. so, we will see.

Hi
Long ago I gave up on Office 2024 which had a lot of problems, and went back to 2019 which works ok.
