Hello,

        We have a Win Sever 2019 vm that was running out out of drive space one day and we tracked it down to 'C:\ProgramData\GuestConfig\extension_logs\Microsoft.SoftwareUpdateManagement.WindowsOsUpdateExtension'.  This folder has WindowsUpdateExtension.log files that vary from 10mb up to 1.2gb.  Can anyone point me in the right direction to disable this?  I appreciate any assistance.

Thank you.
