TMA-VSCODE-1.4.1

Ensure 'UpdateMode' is set to 'Enabled: Enable Automatic Update Checks. Code will check for updates automatically and periodically.'

Descripción

This policy setting controls whether VS Code automatically updates when a new version is released. The recommended state for this setting is: Enabled: Enable Automatic Update Checks. Code will check for updates automatically and periodically. Rationale: Software needs to be patched regularly to address vulnerabilities. Audit reads the Group Policy registry value and prints 'compliant', 'unset' (policy not configured, reported as FAIL) or the non-compliant value. Registry value: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\VSCode:UpdateMode (REG_SZ); compliant when it is 'default' (whitespace-insensitive). Remediation writes default locally; in a domain set it through the ADMX so Group Policy does not revert it.
