VS Code Automatic updates don't work on any systems with default update setting.

Type: Bug

Automatic updates don't work on any systems with default update setting. It's gotten worse since you went to a weekly update schedule. This is happening on commercial, personal, and government AVD systems. My personal system does give a notice about a new version being available but doesn't install it automatically.

@joaomoreno Is additional info still needed? I submitted the ticket from a system that was just updated manually.
