I de-installed microsoft office suite but microsoft auto update keeps coming

Thanks Viking. I looked there and somehow also found a link on the Microsoft Support page, to execute a de-install Python script on GitHub: 'Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac Removal Tool, VERSION=1.6', but alas, it is just a script text, not a .zip file that can be navigated as the instructions tell. I found a link: a page to manually remove Microsoft Office 2011.

• there is a subsection to 'Manual removal of Office for Mac 2011' with detailed instructions in 6 steps.
• I was surprised to find so many files as per instructions; even files I had found with the 'find' option and deleted before. They just came back behind my back.

Now it seems that everything is finished as required; the pop-up of the microsoft auto update did not re-appear after the last update.

One addition to the list: Also look in preferences, where there is a Microsoft folder, and delete that (in my case, with Office 2009 and 2011 information), after step 5:

While I was restarting after step 3 -, i got a panicky message that Microsoft detected a problem (reminds me of the HAL computer that finds out it is being aborted) but com'on Microsoft, you stopped support.

And the list of com.microsoft I found with these instructions (and that a search had not revealed yesterday), that I also now deleted in toto:

Thanks.

Microsoft Office 2011 was uninstalled with the drag and drop method on her old iMac 2012, after support ended, and would not work under High Sierra; and gave no problems for some time untill I migrated het to her "new" iMac 2017 which otherwise works great for her.

Thanks Barney. 

Please expand on your first remark ("office on installer"); something is missing there or I don't understand..

The LaunchAgents list only has 2 Adobe and 2 Samsung (SSD) so nothing microsoft related.
