We are using CircleCI with Windows self-hosted runners (on aws EC2) for our build pipeline. Recently, we ran into an issue, where none of our jobs were running because the CircleCI Windows launcher agent on our machine was out of date. We fixed this issue by reinstalling the launcher. However, we were not able to find out where we can be updated whenever there is a new launcher version release. This is problematic, because our pipeline goes down whenever this happens. Is there a way to find out when new updates happen, or otherwise keep our launcher version up to date?

Hello It is possible to disable the auto updates using a flag, this will mean that you will need to install any updates manually but it will stop the issues you are facing. > **[Machine runner configuration reference - CircleCI](https://circleci.com/docs/runner-config-reference/#runner-disable-auto-update)** > > Welcome to CircleCI Documentation Kind Regards Owen Oliver
