DDM/DDPM, Network KVM feature
The documentation for DDM 2.x, states =
"The Network KVM is only available for selected monitors that support this function"
Which Dell Monitors support DDM 2.x Network KVM feature? We want to disable Network KVM feature. When installing DDM 2.x for our fleet, can I specify in the command line DDM 2.x not to install the Network KVM feature?

On DDPM auto-update (v2.0.1.16) it installs itself even though it wasn't requested in the initial install :(
Plugin is located here: C:\Program Files\Dell\Dell Display and Peripheral Manager\Plugins\NKVM

@DELL-Chris M There is no option in the Dell Monitor and Peripheral Manager to disable/remove the Network KVM plug-in.
The only option appears on the initial install.
The uninstall can be run manually from the plugin folder, but it doesn't seem to support a silent option which is annoying for bulk removal.

I finally found a solution for current (DDPM 2.1.2.12):
1. Uninstall from pc. Also unlinstall all Dell core components (I don't use Dell PCs).
2. Install using command:
.\DDPM-Setup_2.1.2.12.exe /networkkvm=on
This may change again in the future, so use the below command to make sure you're using the right option:
.\DDPM-Setup_[your_version].exe /h

@DELL-Chris M Doesn't activate by default? That's obviously not true. It came on my machine out of nowhere and I didn't install it. What did? I don't know its purpose and whether it's necessary. There are notifications that it's being activated soon, and now I think it's been started by itself. God, I dislike these things and manufacturers taking over our machines without telling us what they're doing & why.

DDM/DDPM does not activate Network KVM feature by default =
User needs to check Network KVM feature from installation UI or using following commands to install the Network KVM feature =
"ddmsteup.exe /InstallFeature=networkkvm"
"launchctl setenv INS_InstallFeature NetworkKVM && open DDPM_Installer.pk"(edited)

Related question: Is it possible to disable or uninstall the Network KVM feature without full uninstall/reinstall of DDM/DDPM?

Did you try removing the checks from the Advanced Setup screen?

@George McFarland Click Start, Type Control Panel, Enter, Programs and Features, Dell Display and Peripheral Manager. Select it and above, click the change button. (Don't double click that will take it to uninstaller). Select Modify, untick the NKVM box, next, finish. Done :)
