# ControlUp Agent - Add/Remove Programs

When you deploy the cuAgent via the Real-Time DX Console, you have two ways to configure it.

Temporary mode - The ControlUp Agent will be automatically uninstalled if the Console or Monitor are not connected with that agent, after a duration of 5 minutes. Persistent mode- The ControlUp Agent will stay on the remote machine and will not be uninstalled automatically.

If you go to Settings-> Agent Settings - use the "Agents will be uninstalled automatically when not used" in order to manage the agent behavior.

In addition, when checked, the ControlUp Agent will not appear in "Add/Remove Programs" (appwiz.cpl) and when not checked, it will appear.
