- This is already available in Azure Government, it just can't be configured from the portal yet! We have a portal deployment happening this week that will make the option visible in the portal in Azure Government.
Is the agent self-updating removed moving forward? This has been a huge pain for older versions of the agent as well as SxS when updates occurs but then it hangs and breaks the session host. Otherwise this control is highly welcomed.

MicrosoftNo. The agent still updates itself, it is just a matter of when. With this feature, you have control over when the agent updates itself, the stack, or the Geneva Monitoring agent. So you'd want to schedule the updates to be when there is not peak usage so that if the update causes hang time it is not disruptive. If this feature is not enabled, the agent will update itself, the stack, or the Geneva Monitoring agent whenever an update becomes available and if the update fails, there will be workload disruption.
