### Manage automatic updates (17.14 and later)
145
+
146
+
Changes in Visual Studio 2022 17.14 and later make it easier to see what's going on with extension updates, and manage auto-update settings from Extension Manager or in **Tools** > **Options**.
147
+
148
+
Whenever you open the Extension Manager window, you automatically trigger updates. This ensures you are consistently working with the latest features and fixes without needing to manually initiate updates.
149
+
150
+
When an update is available for an extension, you see a notification in a yellow infobar:

+

153
+
154
+
Also, an infobar appears when updates are applied, reminding you to restart Visual Studio so that the extensions take effect.
155
+
156
+
Settings for automatic updates are available on the extension page:

+

A new **Pending** category enables you to view only pending updates or modifications.

### Crash and unresponsiveness notifications
131

Visual Studio notifies you if it suspects that an extension was involved in a crash during a previous session. When Visual Studio crashes, it stores the exception stack. The next time Visual Studio starts, it examines the stack, starting with the leaf and working towards the base. If Visual Studio determines that a frame belongs to a module that's part of an installed and enabled extension, it shows a notification.
