[Automatically update extensions] - Automatically update extensions doesn't work of version 2110.

[ghost]

I installed WAC v2110, but the extension automatically update function doesn't work.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to 'Settings\Extensions'.
2. Click on 'Automatically update extensions'.
3. Wait a few minutes.

We aren't able to repro this issue. Did you refresh after you toggled it on?

[ghost]

yes, I refreshed.

That's odd, if it is still not auto-updating, can you please capture a HAR file so that an engineer is able to look into it. This is the first instance that I've seen of this issue so reproducing it has been difficult.

HAR file

I created two VM to try this function, The VM1 use windows 11 and VM2 use windows 2022, and only VM1 can automatically update extensions.

I can reproduce. I've tried WAC as fresh installs on both client (Win 10 Ent) and servers (2022 DC).

The effect is one is forced to select each extension one at a time and update it, as you cannot do a multiple-select on that page, nor is there an update all button.

I've waited up to four days.

Version
2110
Build
1.3.2111.01001

The two previous versions behaved the same.

I have seen this too. Pretty much just assumed the auto-update option is flakey and do it manually.

Hello :) My name is Rebecca, a product manager on the WAC team. I have filed this as an issue for investigation. Kind regards.

Same issue.

[mpetr]

same here. WAC 1.3.2204.19002 on Windows Server 2022

[rogergh]

Same here as well. Would have been nice if it at least had an "Update all"-button to queue updates.

Windows Server 2022 and WAC 1.3.2204.19002.

I use following PowerShell script to keep all WAC extensions up to date.

Import-Module "C:\Program Files\Windows Admin Center\PowerShell\Modules\ExtensionTools\ExtensionTools.psm1"
 
$all = Get-Extension -GatewayEndpoint "https://localhost/"
$installed = $all | where {($_.isLatestVersion -eq $False) -and ($_.status -eq "Installed")}
 
foreach ($extension in $installed)
{
    $extensionNew =  $all | where {($_.id -eq $extension.id) -and ($_.status -eq "Available") -and ($_.isLatestVersion -eq $true)}
    if ($extensionNew -ne $null) {
        if ([System.Version] $extension.version -lt [System.Version] $extensionNew.version)
        {
            $extension | select id,title,version,status
            $extensionNew | select id,title,version,status
            Update-Extension -GatewayEndpoint "https://localhost/" -ExtensionId $extensionNew.id
        }
    }
}

The automatic update extensions are worked of WAC version 2211 Public Preview.
