You can upgrade Dependency Agent for Windows and Linux manually or automatically, depending on the deployment scenario and environment the machine is running in, using these methods:
| Azure VM | Dependency Agent VM extension for [Windows](../../virtual-machines/extensions/agent-dependency-windows.md) and [Linux](../../virtual-machines/extensions/agent-dependency-linux.md)| Agent is automatically upgraded by default unless you configured your Azure Resource Manager template to opt out by setting the property `autoUpgradeMinorVersion` to **false**. The upgrade for minor version where auto upgrade is disabled, and a major version upgrade follow the same method - uninstall and reinstall the extension. |
