The Huntress Agent updates automatically, without any end-user intervention. The agent checks in every 30 minutes to see if any version updates are available. Follow the article link for more information on Updating Huntress Agents.
About the Updater
The Agent updates by using a third-party updater, wyUpdate.exe. When an update is available, the HuntressUpdater.exe calls to wyUpdate, downloading and running the Agent update. The Huntress Updater reaches out to updates.huntress.io.
wyUpdate uses TLS 1.1 to fetch updates. If TLS 1.1 is blocked, the Agent update will fail.

The HuntressUpdater.exe also reaches out to Bugsnag, which is used for updater bug reporting.
Troubleshooting
If using Windows Process Monitor, the update will show as wyUpdate, not HuntressUpdater
wyUpdate extracts the update archive into a random directory under c:\windows\temp.
