You can now selectively enable auto updates per extension or for all extensions published by a publisher. This is available when you have auto update mode set to None or Selected Extensions, which is newly introduced. These options are available in the gear menu of the extension in the extensions view and also in the extension editor.

Please test that if the feature is behaving as expected.

• Test selectively auto updating extension or auto updating all extensions from a publisher.
• Test unselecting auto update of an extension
• Make sure selected extensions are auto updated and those which are not selected are not auto updated.
• Test the UI actions and provide feedback.
• Test switching the Auto Update mode configuration is behaving expectedly.

Tip to mimic auto update of an extension in Default profile:

• Open extensions folder F1 > Open Extensions Folder
• Open extensions.json file and downgrade the version of a extension
• Open the package.json of the extension in the extensions folder and downgrade the version to same

I'm not seeing the checkbox when set to None, and I don't think I should. It's prtesent when set to Selected. Error in the TPI?

It helps to easily switch from none to selected mode and reducing one additional click.

Will switching from Selected back to None be equivalent to unchecking the box on all the extensions I checked it on? And turning off updates from all publishers I enabled it on?
