Description
Have a self-hosted build server (Windows) and extensions are not updated automatically. For example, Extensions under Organization Settings shows API Management Suite version 3.5.1 installed whereas the job log shows that 3.3.1 was used and that is the latest version installed on-premise:
C:\BuildAgent2\_work\_tasks\apim_fbb5ba7e-f837-4f46-b31e-f34c117fdd05\3.3.1\apim.ps1
Unsuccessful in finding info online how to force an update specifically on extensions for self-hosted agents. Checked the agent logs. Nothing (from the daily updates).
Tried running the release from a hosted (azure) agent. Same 3.3.1 version is used. Unclear why the organization wide log over extensions shows 3.5.1 but 3.3.1 is used both self-hosted and Azure hosted.

Research direction
The issue names no repository files or tests. Start by comparing the version shown under Organization Settings with the version in the self-hosted and hosted job logs, including the apim.ps1 path; done would require identifying why those versions differ and documenting or fixing the update behavior.
