Hi ecdrew1994 ,
Unattended updates are pushed out in batches there is no manual update.
The agent experience is as follows:
- When we release a new Desktop Console version, we make the update available to all installed Desktop Consoles.

- On macOS, there’s an option to skip a version update (not recommended)
- There is no manual update option
Hi bill_AZ, welcome to the community.

Is the agent supposed to auto-update? Or will all 1200 of my end-users get a prompt they have to agree to click on?

So unattended does get automatically updated then? I'm less worried about the console because only IT will have access to the console, not our end-users. I've just noticed that we have a variety of different versions on the computers we have deployed it for our test and it appears that most of them aren't getting any updates to the unattended agent without a re-install.
