Office 2013 on Windows 10 Preview OS - Links between Excel and PPT not automatically updating

I a testing Office 2013 on Windows 10.  I have an excel spreadsheet with data, and I am pasting a link into PPT.

1. Copy selection from Excel

2. In PPT - Paste Special/Paste Link/ as Microsoft Excel Worksheet Object

3. Make changes to area in Excel

4. Changes do not show up in PPT automatically, I have to right click object in PPT and select Update Link

Caveat: I am running this in Parallels on a MacBook Air.

I have tested this on Windows 8.1 with Office 2013 and it works fine, auto updates are working.

Is this a known issue, or is there something that has changed?

Hi,

I have tested this issue with my local environment (Office 2013 & Windows 10), and this feature worked well. Thus, I recommend you try my version of Windows 10: Build 10130.

Thank you George.

I had the "offered" out of the box version of Windows 10 Preview that is found on Parallels, it is version 10074.

I have downloaded and installed 10130, and all works great!
