Windows Admin Center 2.4: No computers can be added using the GUI

On version 2.4.0, the Add buttons in the All connections interface as well as in Settings, Shared connections are missing. I am a Gateway Administrator. I can install extensions, register WAC with Azure and anything else.

    That did it! Thanks ZK4568746! Did you leave auto-updates off?

    I just installed it yesterday, and still no add button. Will try ZK4568746's suggestion. 

  • Hey folks, this issue was likely due to a missed step in our extension publication process-- WAC was identifying that there were newer versions of extensions (like Cluster Manager and Server Manager) and attempting to install them, but these extensions did not exist on the public feed. This issue should be fixed now! If not, please let me know. 

  • It seems that an extension update causes the problem. After installing WAC, the buttons are available for a short moment, but after the default extensions update, the buttons disappear. Moreover, adding connections using Import-WACConnection works, but I cannot connect to the computers afterwards, because a provider is missing. I assume, that the Server Manager and Computer Management extension 4.24.0 causes the problem.

      I ran into this issue as well. The solution we discovered was to disable automatic updates for extensions and manually install Server Manager and Computer Management version 4.23.0. This immediately resolved the issue.
