DDM, disable updates with silent install

I would like to deploy DDM (Dell Display Manager) silently, but do not want it to check for updates. Is there an install switch or reg key for this?

If installing DDM, try:

"ddmsetup.exe /VerySilent /NoUpdate"

If DDM is already installed:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\EnTech\DDM]
"LastCheck"=dword:00000000

@neo14

I tried the following on Mac OS 10.15.7 and it so appears to have stopped the update popups, which will no longer install on my version of Mac OS.

In the DDM folder in Applications I edited the DDM_Settings.json file. On line 2574 near the bottom you will find:

"Enable Live Update": true,

I changed to:

"Enable Live Update": false,

Saved file and restarted DDM - so far no more update prompt popups.

Do we have a similar setting for macOS using a config profile or plist  ?
