-* With Chef >= 12.6 _and_ the `windows` cookbook >= 1.39.0, Agent upgrades are known to fail.
- For Chef>=12.6 users on Windows, we recommend pinning the `windows` cookbook to a lower version (`~> 1.38.0` for instance).

- prior to any Agent upgrade.
-
* Because of changes in the Windows Agent packaging and install in version 5.12.0, when upgrading the Agent from versions <= 5.10.1 to versions >= 5.12.0,
please set the `windows_agent_use_exe` attribute to `true`.
