The Azure File Sync agent will auto-upgrade. You can select either of two modes and specify a maintenance window in which the upgrade shall be attempted on the server.

1. The **default setting** will attempt to prevent the agent from expiration. Within 21 days of the posted expiration date of an agent, the agent will attempt to self-upgrade. It will start an attempt to upgrade once a week within 21 days prior to expiration and in the selected maintenance window. **This option doesn't eliminate the need for taking regular Microsoft Update patches.**

2. Optionally, you can select that the agent will automatically upgrade itself as soon as a new agent version becomes available (currently not applicable to clustered servers). This update will occur during the selected maintenance window and allow your server to benefit from new features and improvements as soon as they become generally available. This is the recommended, worry-free setting that will provide major agent versions as well as regular update patches to your server. Every agent released is at GA quality. If you select this option, Microsoft will flight the newest agent version to you. Clustered servers are excluded. Once flighting is complete, the agent will also become available on Microsoft Update and [Microsoft Download Center](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=858257).
