Allow Powershell to update automatically in VS Code

Prerequisites

• I have written a descriptive issue title.
• I have searched all issues to ensure it has not already been reported.

Summary

Its great Powershell has lots of frequent updates! I just would love to set it to auto update (others obviously may not), so I don’t have to click through to the info page, then to the download page, then download and install it. With the download its a minute or two of lost productivity, every time, plus a couple minutes for the Admin approval and install process: maybe 5 minutes total distraction…

I’d love to have a “Keep Powershell always up to date” option, or at least a one-click install. It currently looks like:

PowerShell 7.1.5
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation.

Type 'help' to get help.

   A new PowerShell stable release is available: v7.2.0 
   Upgrade now, or check out the release page at:       
     https://aka.ms/PowerShell-Release?tag=v7.2.0

I’m on Win 10, on the Insider Edition.

This WAS https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/136782, but they pointed the finger at you all…

Or you could use the Microsoft store version.

Thx @o-l-a-v.

(I’ve yet to use MS Store, & probably couldn’t figure out which of my chaotic set of ~12 MS usernames/passwords/personas to use! Its my little hot button with MS.)
