Update Service
The Robot Update Service, removed from Robot 2026.10 and short-term support releases, and the UiPath Platform Installer that replaces it.
The Update Service is no longer part of UiPath Robot. From Robot 2026.10, and in short-term support releases, the Robot installs and updates through the UiPath Platform Installer, which keeps each machine on its update channel. Orchestrator auto-update policies don't apply to these robots.
What replaces it
| With the Update Service | With the UiPath Platform Installer |
|---|---|
| Update policies set in Orchestrator, per user, group, or machine | An update channel for each machine, assigned through Group Policy or registry values on Windows |
| A specific version set in the update policy | Version pinning with the MaxAllowedVersion policy |
| Updates between jobs on unattended robots | Updates between jobs on unattended robots |
| An update prompt on attended robots | A notification the user can postpone, up to the period your policy sets |
For details, refer to Update channels and Deploy governance policies.
Robot 2025.10 and earlier
Robot 2025.10 and earlier keep the Update Service, and Orchestrator auto-update policies still apply to them. For how the service works, refer to Update Service in the 2025.10 guide.
