### Cloud robots upgraded to .NET 8 framework

Automation Cloud™ Robots virtual machines now run with Robot version 2024.10.1, which uses the .NET 8 framework.

However, the exact framework used depends on your VM pool's **Software update settings**:

* Machines set to **Instant auto-update (recommended)** get an automatic upgrade to .NET 8-framework Robots.
* Machines set to **Delayed auto-update** continue using .NET 6-framework Robots until the next Robot version is released. This may cause errors when running Studio Web or Studio 2024.10.1 projects. To avoid these errors, change the upgrade mechanism to **Instant auto-update (recommended)**. For details, refer to the [compatibility matrix](https://docs.uipath.com/overview/other/latest/overview/compatibility-matrix#automation-projects).
