Describe the bug

We are in process to test silent install\upgrade\uninstall for Microsoft Bot Framework Emulator.

We need to know if there is any setting available globally to disable auto updates.

hi @metaad, we are evaluating the new tooling available in the M365 Agents Toolkit, notice you can sideload the test tool with winget install Microsoft.AgentsPlayground

if you prefer to continue using the BotFramework Emulator you might need to patch the code yourself to disable updates, as we are not planning any new releases.
