Since the end of last week we have had three occasions where one of the session hosts randomly becomes unavailable. This happened in two separate AVD environments.
After we shutdown and reboot the session host, everything will work fine again.
We noticed the following notable things:
I have yet to find anything on this problem. Is anyone else experiencing this with their AVD environments?

Thanks Bert, I got the below info today, we had a Teams call yesterday. We should deliver a memory dump but unfortunately the issue has not returned today so that makes me wonder..
Yesterday:
I have check Internally and I have some problem related with the last update of Windows Defender 4.18.2210.4 and 4.18.2210.5 and FSLogix.
But for confirm it is related, I need a full dump to check.
But you can Roll back to a previous version of the Defender AV platform to try to mitigate the issue. Last know good version is 4.18.2209.7
And a few minutes ago I got this:
I hope that you are great today.
So good news, if the issue is related with Defender the Product Group are working to delivery a new update to fix this.

@KristofH FYI, the feedback I got from Microsoft after mentioning this:
I see this error, Microsoft.RDInfra.RDAgent.Service.AgentUpdateStateImpl too on my Lab. I have questioned the SME and this error does not impact at all the agent. Is just a warning for the agent updater.
This error is showing because the agent tries to check the repository if they have a new agent and, if they don’t have any new one, they have this unexpected error. When they have a new on the repository, they update without any issue.
I of course responded I find this "not normal" as this only occurs since this version and it also occurs 6 times in 2 minutes. And it shouldn't be a warning.

@KristofH Yes I witnessed it being installed on Monday morning.
We are in Aus East and have no scheduled updated configured.

@mariolener , I am also seeing this event in my logs. I had to restart our VDI instance for a user who was seeing issues, but at the expense of the others who weren't (it's a shared instance). We're using Sophos endpoint instead of Defender, though I'm sure some of the process is still present, even if AV duty has been handed off.

We have not seen this issue arise again yet (AVD in Aus East, Meta data in East US)
note: our SH agent versions is now listed as: 1.0.5739.9800, as normal there in nothing in the whats new KB about it so no idea if this has any fixes/includes new issue What's new in the Azure Virtual Desktop Agent? - Azure | Microsoft Learn
Agent appears to have been updated sometime this week.

We do not have the issue again so far.
Our session hosts (in North+West Europe, UK West ) are all 1.0.5555.1010 and now getting auto upgraded to 1.0.5739.9800. Probably in Feb 2023 this will be mentioned in the release notes. :(

@tomdw We have the same problem on AVD agent: v1.0.5739.9800 that started today.
We are running everything in the North Europe region. We have submitted a ticket with MS.
