4.4.4.8240 - Stable Release

The latest fully tested, production-ready build available for manual download. This is not the same version pushed through the Automatic Update Repository's Stable channel: that channel is intentionally kept a few versions behind (currently 4.4.4.8204) for several months, since global rollout to all customers is staged over a 2–3 week period per release. When the Automatic Update Stable (GA) version changes, an email notification is sent to all technical contacts, unless they've opted out.

Installation

The Windows Agent can be deployed in several ways; please see this Knowledge Base Article for options.

Upgrading

The USS Agent software supports automatic or manual updates via Configuration Profiles.

If you are trying to update from an old version before v4.3.38, then you must update to at least v4.3.38 using the Custom Automatic Update Repository https://agentupdate.clouduss.com/win-4.3.38/config.xml first and then upgrade to the latest from there.
The auto-upgrade feature uses the Microsoft MSI subsystem; however, it can be influenced by third-party security software that alters permissions on files, folders, the startup menu and tray applications, such as FSLogix.

Automatic Update Repository

Within your agent profile, there are 4 automatic update options which allow you to roll out newer versions of our agent that have additional enhancements and fixes.
