The license for Visual Studio has expired in ADO Managed DevOps Pool

[Galatis-Giuliano]

Description

Similar to #11017 . I think the problem is only in the Managed DevOps Pool provided image of Windows.

Might also be related to this. I don't think the image provided by the Managed DevOps Pool has updated for over a month.

Hello @kishorekumar-anchala. Thank you for the update. Just wanted to confirm that this deployment will also update the image provided through Managed DevOps Pool? Currently the Managed DevOps Pool is not providing the latest deployed image of windows-2022 that the Hosted Agent provides.
