Download for [Windows](https://download.microsoft.com/download/e/7/0/e70b1753-646e-4aea-bac4-40187b5128b0/AzureConnectedMachineAgent.msi) or [Linux](manage-agent.md#installing-a-specific-version-of-the-agent)

26+
### Known issues
27+
28+
The Windows Admin Center in Azure feature is incompatible with Azure Connected Machine agent version 1.35. Upgrade to version 1.37 or later to use this feature.
29+
30+
### New features
31+
32+
- The Linux installation script now downloads supporting assets with either wget or curl, depending on which tool is available on the system
33+
- [azcmagent connect](azcmagent-connect.md) and [azcmagent disconnect](azcmagent-disconnect.md) now accept the `--user-tenant-id` parameter to enable Lighthouse users to use a credential from their tenant and onboard a server to a different tenant.
34+
- You can configure the extension manager to run, without allowing any extensions to be installed, by configuring the allowlist to `Allow/None`. This supports Windows Server 2012 ESU scenarios where the extension manager is required for billing purposes but doesn't need to allow any extensions to be installed. Learn more about [local security controls](security-overview.md#local-agent-security-controls).
35+
36+
### Fixed
37+
38+
- Improved reliability when installing Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on Linux by increasing [available system resources](agent-overview.md#agent-resource-governance) and extending the timeout
39+
- Better error handling when a user specifies an invalid location name to [azcmagent connect](azcmagent-connect.md)
40+
- Fixed a bug where clearing the `incomingconnections.enabled` [configuration setting](azcmagent-config.md) would show `<nil>` as the previous value
41+
- Security fix for the extension allowlist and blocklist feature to address an issue where an invalid extension name could impact enforcement of the lists.

Windows machines that try to upgrade to version 1.38 via Microsoft Update and encounter an error might fail to roll back to the previously installed version. As a result, the machine will appear "Disconnected" and won't be manageable from Azure. The update has been removed from the Microsoft Update Catalog while Microsoft investigates this behavior. Manual installations of the agent on new and existing machines aren't affected.

Windows machines that try and fail to upgrade to version 1.38 manually or via Microsoft Update might not roll back to the previously installed version. As a result, the machine will appear "Disconnected" and won't be manageable from Azure. A new version of 1.38 was released to Microsoft Update and the Microsoft Download Center on March 5, 2024 that resolves this issue.

If your machine was affected by this issue, you can repair the agent by downloading and installing the agent again. The agent will automatically discover the existing configuration and restore connectivity with Azure. You don't need to run `azcmagent connect`.
