[Feedback] SFOS ver. 21 AutoHotfix

Question

Hello Sophos Team, 
 I just got a question. 
 Is the Autohotfix active in the background because it used to be an option in the Firmware to let you know if the option was ON or OFF?! 
 
 Sincerely 
 Val.

SFOS has Hotfixes enabled per Default. Hotfix was an option in the old version, but was moved to CLI only. So you can only disable it via CLI. 
 You can check a system: https://docs.sophos.com/nsg/sophos-firewall/21.0/help/en-us/webhelp/onlinehelp/CommandLineHelp/DeviceConsole/SystemCommands/index.html#ha Usually hotfix is enabled on all system. Only if you actively choose to disable it in the past, it will stay disabled. 
 There is one option to disable it (by accident) using Sophos Central: You can enable/disable Hotfixes via Sophos Central Templates (Today, could be changing soon). Therefore if you have a template with disabled Hotfixes, it could disable hotfixes. 
 Be aware: CLI Options are backup/restore material, means if you disable it and restore your backup to a new machine, it remains disabled.
