I have modified elasticagent.yml ( c:\programfiles\elastic\ea.yml)  
this my yml

agent.retry:

# enabled determines whether retry is possible. Default is false.

enabled: true

# retries\_count specifies number of retries. Default is 3.

# Retry count of 1 means it will be retried one time after one failure.

retries\_count: 3

# delay specifies delay in ms between retries. Default is 30s

delay: 30s

# max\_delay specifies maximum delay in ms between retries. Default is 300s

max\_delay: 2m

The agent retry options control how often the agent attempts to communicate with fleet-server. It does not effect if the agent shows in Kibana.

Currently there is no way to change it, however the 8.7 release will have a new option in Kibana to control agent inactivity: [[Fleet] Replace unenrollment timeout with UI-only inactivity timeout · Issue #143455 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/143455)
