 ### Automatic agent upgrades
 
-The Azure Connected Machine agent will support automatic and manual upgrades of the agent, initiated by Azure, in an upcoming release. To facilitate this capability, the agent enables a scheduled task on Windows or cron job on Linux that runs daily to see if the agent should be upgraded. The scheduler job will be installed when you install agent versions 1.30 or higher. While the scheduler job is currently enabled, the complete automatic upgrade experience is not yet available, so no changes will be made to your system even if a newer version of the Azure Connected Machine agent is available.
-
-To view these scheduler jobs in Windows through PowerShell, run the following command:
-
-```powershell
-schtasks /query /TN azcmagent
-```
-

-To view these scheduler jobs in Linux, run the following command:
-
-```
-cat /etc/cron.d/azcmagent_autoupgrade

-To opt-out of any future automatic upgrades or the scheduler jobs, execute the following Azure CLI commands:

-For Windows:
-
-```powershell
-az rest --method patch --url https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/<subscriptionId>/resourceGroups/<resourceGroup>/providers/Microsoft.HybridCompute/machines/<machineName>?api-version=2022-12-27-preview --resource https://management.azure.com/ --headers Content-Type=application/json --body '{\"properties\": {\"agentUpgrade\": {\"enableAutomaticUpgrade\": false}}}'
-```
-
-For Linux:
-
-```bash
-az rest --method patch --url https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/<subscriptionId>/resourceGroups/<resourceGroup>/providers/Microsoft.HybridCompute/machines/<machineName>?api-version=2022-12-27-preview --resource https://management.azure.com/ --headers Content-Type=application/json --body '{"properties": {"agentUpgrade": {"enableAutomaticUpgrade": false}}}'
-```
+The Azure Connected Machine agent doesn't automatically upgrade itself when a new version is released. You should include the latest version of the agent with your scheduled patch cycles.
