In Windows 10 operating system, Microsoft offers a Click-To-Run virtualization technology that helps reduce the time required to install Office. It basically allows users to start using an Office product before the whole product is installed on the computer.
Also, since the programs installed with Click-and-Run are virtualized, they do not conflict with other applications. Still, if Office Click-to-Run does not meet your needs and you want to disable it, here is a step-by-step guide for the same.
