What technology is used for visual studio upgrade and showing update available?

I was surprised by the option to include a vs installer config file in the solution. Is it possible to generate a minimal config file? That would be helpful for specific missing workloads (VS extension project for example). I do not want VS to install the Azure workload when it is not required for the specific solution.

I would like to see the Developer news (which rarely gets viewed unless there is an update) move back to the Open Dialog. Make it as an option for those who don't want it. Also, the Open dialog is very slow to open and search, maybe because I have lots of solutions.
